See here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI

But I'm not *yet* convinced you need to install the 12.10 drivers .. have you tried any settings in the Catalyst Control Centre ?

Try adding the 4 packages required for video hardware acceleration, and see if that thelps:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt-get install xvba-va-driver libva-glx1 libva-egl1 vainfo
(a reboot may be required at this point)

Then post the output from:

Code Select Expand

sudo vainfo

Sorry for the Edit I didn't wait for the full script to appear

Hello, I bought a laptop with  AMD Radeon HD 7640G , I'm looking for better driver in ubuntu because when I'm watching a movie I get weird vertical line in the first 1/3 of the movie ? Or how can I fix my problem ?

Thanks 

I've listen to your advice I finaly install 12.04 ! Thank you so much for your support !

One last question what is better

AMD/ATI proprietary FGLRX graphic driver or
AMD/ATI proprietary FGLRX graphic (post-release updates)

and by installing 12.04 I don't have the cursors problem anymore 

Thank you so much it's working the only problem I have , My cursor is acting all weird . it's always disappear on screen ? Do you know how to fix that ?

And how to put that kernel as default ?

Thanks again !! You save me from an awful windows 8 laptop haha

Linux iLinux 3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 19 10:26:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Yes they compile without error, I even redone it with a fresh install of ubuntu just to make sure !!

Is there another distribution that have the driver by default or something , I just don't want to be with windows !

I'm not 100% convinced this is a driver issue .. have you tried installing the chromium browser:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
then disconnecting your wired connection, and trying Chromium.

I'd just like to rule out Firefox somehow causing this.

Same thing !  I really don't know what to think
