I downloaded a file called "amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run", is that the correct one?
Just sudo run it?
Topic: xubuntu 12.04 wants to update fglrx-* packages - safe? - page 2. (Read 4599 times)
download an older fglrx (the general package), there u can create packages for ur system. install these deps with dpkg, restart. thats it 
Looks like I need your help :p I upgraded the fglrx packages and now mining performance is crap.
5870 is working fine, but cgminer is showing wrong clocks (157 Mhz, which should be 900 Mhz)
7970 shows correct clock (950 Mhz), but is hashing at 190 MH/s...
Using cgminer 2.11.2

u can always grab the old deb's to downgrade afterwards if it dosnt work.
Is it really *that* easy? Have you done it? Especially with the fglrx-* packages?What about dependencies between packages?
i downgraded alot of times, altough not fglrx (only 1 year ago), still it works. if it screws up ur system, i help u for free to fix it since i screwd it up
EDIT: u probably already got the old debs:
Code:
$ ls /var/cache/apt/archives/*fglrx*

Running apt-get upgrade, my system wants to upgrade these packages:

Is it safe to update those (bold) packages or should I keep the old packages for mining with cgminer on a mixed 7970/5850 setup?

to get around "The following packages have been kept back" u have to use apt-get dist-upgrade
