@Christopher Did the collection again... I don't think AMD will check this issue... There's no proper way to notify them of the problem. The post I made in their forum was removed today. The reason : They deal with Windows only.

[Bug 1068661] Re: Unity does not load after installing fglrx-installer
apport information ** Tags added: staging ** Description changed: I have a laptop with ATI Radeon 6770M HD Hybrid graphics card. 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.

@Christopher This is the same issue, so no need to raise a new bug request. I read your provided advisory link and first line says 'one defect, one person, one report' so there is no need to submit another duplicate bug report here. As mentioned in the bug description, Ubuntu 12.10 seems to not allow ATI graphics card based laptops to boot into Unity. I am having this issue, so i believe this is the correct bug report to participate in. I tried a few of the methods mentioned in the orginating post this bug comes from (http://askubuntu.com/questions/202857/cant-install-ati- proprietary-drivers-in-12-10) like installing the gflrx-updates etc using Synaptics package manager and trying nomodeset on the grub menu, but none of these have helped. At the moment, the workaround for me is still to remove the gflrx package(s) and reboot, and then Unity comes back on the desktop and i run with 'Unknown' graphics drivers as displayed from System Settings - Overview. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068661 Title: Unity does not load after installing fglrx-installer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fglrx/+bug/1068661/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1068661] Re: Unity does not load after installing fglrx-installer
After installing that older 12.4 driver (as I mentioned in the above comment) I opened the AMD control panel (before rebooting. If I reboot, i'll loose unity) and it gave me an error saying there's no AMD graphic driver installed. (But note that it worked in Ubuntu 12.04) Attached a screenshot of the error. ** Attachment added: "AMD catalyst error" https://bugs.launchpad.net/fglrx/+bug/1068661/+attachment/3405679/+files/error.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068661 Title: Unity does not load after installing fglrx-installer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fglrx/+bug/1068661/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
