Do you have the fglrx_drv_video.so ?

apt-get install xvba-va-driver sais:

xvba-va-driver : depends on: fglrx-driver (>= 1:10-9) is not installable

It's a bug you cannot install it until you get a new driver.
You can receive it from the x-swat team. It is working on my HP625 notebook with ATI 4200.

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

How to get the driver from the AMD website... ...see http://www.dickmcjohnnson.wordpress.com
