I have conflicting information being given to me, on the one hand the "Additional Drivers" panel mentions that the ATI/AMD proprietary driver is installed, but the "Details" panel tells me the "Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300) " is in use.



I am using Ubuntu 12.04 beta



enter image description here



How do I make sure the ATI driver is used?

I've gone through a program of deleting the installed fglrx drivers installed by Ubuntu, then following these steps http://ubuntuportal.com/new-ati-catalyst-12-3-has-been-released-how-to-install-in-ubuntu-12-04-and-linux-mint-12/ to install the updated AMD drivers.



This got things going for me.
