We cannot autoinstall the fglrx driver on a per device base. Either we install it for all the supported AMD cards, or we don't. The latter is our current policy. The open radeon driver usually works well enough (hence we use it by default).
LP: #1323967 simply shows that the system is using software rendering. This means that probably the open 3D driver that we ship doesn't support that GPU. Please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of dmesg in that bug report and let's try to fix that bug instead. I'm marking this as "won't fix". ** Changed in: ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-drivers-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1324001 Title: Recommanded driver for AMD Mullins [1002:9853] is very slow Status in “ubuntu-drivers-common” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: The recommanded driver for [Radeon APU E2-4000 with R2 Graphics] in "Additional Driver" tells user that "X.Org X server -- AMD/ATI display driver wrapper", xserver-xorg-video-ati, is in used, however it is very slow, almost unusable, the issue had been reported here, bug 1323967.
