HowTo: Use Envy to install the latest ATI fglrx driver on Ubuntu Gutsy (testing)

Since I´m a pretty lazy bastard, I use Alberto Milone´s very helpful little tool “Envy” to install the latest ATI fglrx driver on my two laptops which are already running Ubuntu Gutsy. (Of course I´m wiser now and next I time I´ll go for Nvidia if the choice is up to me)
It´s a pretty simple and dirty little hack, but it does the trick until Alberto adds “real” support for Gutsy. :-)

After having installed the latest version you just have to edit line 89 in /usr/share/envy/instun/classes.py and change

elif self.details['osname'] == 'feisty':#SUPPORT FOR FEISTY

to

elif self.details['osname'] == 'gutsy':#SUPPORT FOR FEISTY

Now you can start Envy and it should work like a charm.

cheers
