I have the same issue with amdconfig:
"sudo: amdconfig: command not found:
Here is what I've been using.
Save a backup copy of xorg.conf in case this doesn't work.
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.BAK
Remove/purge current fglrx and fglrx-amdcccle (If you have used a method outside of aptitude, apt, Software Center or Synaptic, follow the other party's instructions for removal). You will need to deliberately remove both the normal and -updates versions in recent releases of Ubuntu because it seems that attempting to remove one installs the other:
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates
Reboot.
You may need to install the linux generic headers
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
Install the driver:
sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle
or
sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates
Generate a fresh xorg.conf BEFORE REBOOTING!
sudo aticonfig --initial
or:
sudo amdconfig --initial
If you are using multiple AMD graphics cards or AMD dual graphics (i.e.: notebook users), use:
sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial
or:
sudo amdconfig --adapter=all --initial

I keep getting this error during installation.
