unity - Can't install AMD Catalyst drivers on 13.04


I recently installed Ubuntu 13.04 on a system with an AMD APU (A6-5400k). The unity sidebar was flickering and I had had this problem before, and installing the AMD Catalyst drivers fixed it (under 12.04.2). Under 13.04, when I try installing Catalyst 13.4 (what a coincidence) it says it is not an executable when I run the .run file using sudo sh or by making it executable under Properties. It is to the point of unusable as I am planning to play a few games on it. Can anyone point me in the direction of good open source drivers or how I can install the proprietary drivers? I am relatively new to Linux.



In order to install Catalyst 13.4 please refer to those instructions:
