I'm trying to use the xorg-edgers PPA to install the latest ATI drivers on my laptop:

According to that link there is a package named fglrx-installer for 12.10 (Quantal):

 fglrx-installer 2:12.100~beta7-0ubuntu1~xedgers~quantal1

So I tried to add the PPA and install the package like this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fglrx-installer

It simply fails and reports that no such package exists. So how do I get this thing installed?

$ sudo apt-get install fglrx-installer
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package fglrx-installer
$ apt-cache search fglrx-installer
$

The packages you might be looking for in this PPA are fglrx and fglrx-amdcccle.

But I recommend making a backup of your Ubuntu parititon, for example using Clonezilla, before trying this PPA.
