Within the release of Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn I've decided to upgrade for it, in hope of better support to my graphics card from AMD, because in the release notes of both Catalyst and Ubuntu it was promised better graphical support. Besides that, when I try to run the installer that comes with the zip file, it reports me in the installation log that it needs the kernel headers from the version, and recommends me installing the package linux-generic, but that version is 2.16. I've heard of getting the kernel's source code and extracting it, but I haven't found any tutorials on the web for it. And when I try to install linux-headers-3.13.0-37-generic, it reports me that the package is only avaiable for trusty and trusty-updates. And no, I'm not using fglrx or fglrx-updates because Unity nor Gnome won't load, instead showing a black screen and the only thing that would display things are the tty's.
Currently I am using the XOrg XServer's drivers, but that is very restricting, as alot of 3D apps depends on fglrx or advanced drivers.
Anyone knows how to fix this, be it by means of downloading the kernel's source code from kernel.org or other ways?
My graphics card is AMD Radeon HD 6310 and my architethure is x86_64.
