Amd Radeon HD 6670 Not working with Dual Screen

Asked by Gerald Smith

I already posted here, but launchpad glitched and said it was answered. The question wasn't.

-Ubuntu Currently does not work in gnome 3D. I need it to work in Gnome 2D in order to access files, folders and terminal.
-I tried downloaded the drivers from the website, but they are the wrong files, and linux does not support them.
-I want the ubuntu operating system for surfing, and everything, while windows for gaming.
-Primary Screen is a 20 inch Acer, While the Second screen is a 32 inch Seiki TV i switch to gaming on my XBOX.
-Went to settings, aswell as Reinstalled the operating system.
- I am running Ubuntu 12.04

Heres what I get after running the sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a command.

can you please give the output of

Xorg -version; lspci -nnk | grep vga -ia2; uname -a

Also, where from did you attempt to install the drivers (a link would be great)?

"-I tried downloaded the drivers from the website, but they are the wrong files, and linux does not support them."

Could you please clarify what files (and from where) you downloaded exactly, and in what way did it not work.

Thanks

Here is where I got the drivers too.

They were in the wrong file extension. Linux didnt support them and run them.

Can you help with this problem?
