Though official Catalyst software 13.1 is suitable for ati radeon hd4330, it can't be installed on Ubuntu 14.04 as it can't support Xorg >= 7.6 As I need proprietary drivers for trusty, I would like to know if there is a way to bypass this limitation ? (For example by fetching driver sources)

Here are some results from the terminal :

Edit : Indeed, I would like to use WebGL inside Chrome. But seems like free drivers miss functionalities. This is my chrome://gpu settings : My chrome gpu settings at pastebin
