graphics - Ubuntu 13.10 Catalyst Installation

On my Ubuntu 13.10 I use a Radeon HD 5730 / 6570M (supported) and AMD/ATI Mobility graphics controller (Linux kernel 3.12).



I can't make it work in any way, I always get black screen at login. It doesn't matter what procedure I follow. I have to purge fglrx and roll back to open source drivers.



I've tried everything in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI.



Also no success with Catalyst Control Center downloaded from http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/ubuntu-amd-catalyst-install.



When I start the download, a popup says Downloaded driver file contains errors.




Is it simply impossible to install proprietary drivers on 13.10, or am I doing something wrong?
