To Install graphics drivers on ubuntu.
You need to install the driver and the configuration tool. To do that, just type the following in a terminal window:
sudo apt-get install "drive-name" " configuration-tool"
You need to change “drive-name” and “configuration-tool” according to what you have.

If you don’t know the name of your graphics card, check it here:
lspci

In my case it was Nvidia so i changed “driver-name” to nvidia-glx and “configuration-tool” to vividia-setting.
For ATI cards , you can use xrog-driver-fglrx and fglrx-control

After installation, you need do some changes on the “xrog.conf” file .Use the following command to open the file:

sudo gedit /etc/x11/xrog.conf

restart your computer
