Public bug reported: This is related to bug #993427 however the xorg edgers fails to install properly without the patches and it's possible to recover from the official installer if you manually add the patches to the system.
The best way to test is to install the xorg edgers ppa: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/ Steps to reproduce: step 1) Install xorg edgers ppa on fresh install of system. step 2) update to latest software release, and reboot. ( At this step everything for xorg/mesa will be usable) step 3) install fglrx. ( this will fail, due to dkms problems ) step 4) reboot. ( at this stage all 3d-acceleration and whatnot will end) ** Affects: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: fglrx kernel-bug xorg-edgers -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1045449 Title: [xorg-edgers] Missing kernel 3.4.x and 3.5.x dkms patches To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1045449/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
