Hi guys what is the BEST way to update driver from AMD.com Right now I am on latest 13.3 Beta 3 and just for future how do I update. On installation tut. you guys saying remove any old drivers before install new one from amd.com. IS this same way updating from 13.3 beta 3 to let's say beta 4 or even 13.3 Gold release ? In other words it's always best to delete everything and re install driver ? Reason I am asking I am not too clear on how to ERASE everything that have to do with amd.

Thanks !

This is how i do it. Works perfekt

# eg Upgrade from AMD Catalyst 13.2 beta 2 to 13.2 beta 3
# Go into your Downloads folder (I suppose you have already download the driver)
cd Downloads

# Make the package executable
chmod +x amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.2-beta3-linux-x86.x86_64.run

# Create deb packages for precise (12.04) or quantal (12.10)
sudo sh ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.2-beta3-linux-x86.x86_64 --buildpkg Ubuntu/precise

# Force overwrite the older packages with the new ones
sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -i *.deb

# Reboot you PC
If want to unistall them

sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*
