Any of you run a Linux distro on an AMD A6 or A8 using the IGP??

which distro are you talking about? most distros ship with the open source drivers for everything or at least have them in the repo, unless your gaming they tend to be better at 2d acceleration and such.

if you need the proprietary drivers you usually have to install a package called fglrx. which is what amd call their binary.

The open drivers are fine for desktop use and video playback - as long as you can live without any hardware video decode. The amd drivers are garbage so just stick with the open ones (installed by default in ubuntu).
