    Can't activate fglrx drivers

    Hello,

    I can't get my fglrx drivers activated, every time I try I get an error message. I first tried going into System-->Administration-->Additional Drivers and activating it their but I get this error message: SystemError: installArchives() failed. I tried using some jockey command (my apologies as I can't quite remember the command) and I got the same error message. I was searching around on google and I someone said to type
    Code:
    aticonfig --initial
    Into a terminal and now my computer is running really slowly and I can't get it to run like normal. My windows scroll down in increments, when I try to move a window it jumps around, I can't handle how slowly this thing is going.

    Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    ATI isn't particularly known for keeping sync'd with latest Linux distributions. What ATI drivers are available in the 10.10 Synaptic package manager? I'd use those, since they are most likely have been validated by Canonical before release (we hope).
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    The ones installed by default, that's the fglrx one's, but they aren't activated and my computer is still running like crap. I can't get it to run normally and the fglrx driver won't activate I keep getting that freaking annoying error message and I want my computer back running like it normally does.
