I also had this ame problem whereby the fglrx drivers would not work in Linux
Mint 16. I downloaded the Beta drivers from ATI's website (AMD Catalyst™ 14.1
LINUX Beta Driver) and ran them after unzipping them and changing the
permissions so that it was executable, then installed them with the advice from
the following URL:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD, by
using code: sudo aticonfig --initial. I used the properties from the
amd-driver-installer-13.35.1005-x86.x86_64.run, changed the permission to allow
it to be executable.  Then I rebooted and it worked, as I no longer had to use
the Running in Software Rendering Mode.I initially had to use this mode as I
had to use recovery, connect network, then fix broken packages, then resume
boot. Hopefully this will help others to get their laptops running as well as
desktops.
