there else can do? i'm using 12.04 lts on 64 bit using ati radeon hd 6700 card.

... wait minute!

rebooted machine , have "amd testing use only" box @ bottom right of screen. looks works because can launch team fortress 2 no problem.

running this:

moni@moni-hps:~$ jockey-text --list
xorg:fglrx - ati/amd proprietary fglrx graphics driver (proprietary, disabled, not in use)
xorg:fglrx_experimental_9 - ati/amd proprietary fglrx graphics driver (proprietary, disabled, not in use)
xorg:fglrx_updates - ati/amd proprietary fglrx graphics driver (post-release updates) (proprietary, disabled, not in use)

guess works doesn't show in jockey.

that's ok because they're experimental drivers.

thread may closed far i'm concerned.
