@pads Your workaround works for me. Great thanks! And as a @davorao said my configuration has discrete AMD GPU and no integrated Intel CPU.

In Ubuntu 12.04, I installed the fglrx driver through "additional drivers" and it worked. (I can even switch GPUs). But in the new Ubuntu 12.10, after installing, Unity won't load. Only the mouse and the wallpaper. If I initialize the settings sudo aticonfig --initial then after rebooting it gives a warning saying I'm in low graphics mode! How to fix this? Even tried the drivers from AMD website (both the old 8.* and the new 9.* drivers) Earlier i used software source to install the drivers. But when using the terminal, I got this warning : - update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/lib/fglrx/ld.so.conf because link group x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf is broken Full installation log : - pubudu@lap1:~$ sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates [sudo] password for pubudu: Reading package lists...
