Sure, Christopher.
It's HP G62-a014SL
** Description changed:
- I'm using a HP Pavilion G62 that switches between two ATI cards: a HD 4200
and a HD 5400. After upgrading from Precise to Quantal, the resolution is very
low, no compositing is available, Unity fails to load, no window decorations
are present and I just get the cursor, a wallpaper and desktop icons.

very low, no compositing is available, Unity fails to load, no window
decorations are present and I just get the cursor, a wallpaper and desktop
icons.
I thought that since the Radeon HD 4xxx branch is now under the new driver
support model, I had to install fglrx-legacy drivers from ppa:makson96/fglrx
(even if my secondary card is in the original driver support model) which also
downgrades the X server, but it didn't work: I just got a black screen and Xorg
segmentation faults, no matter which xorg.conf is used (I tried with Quantal's
default and 'amdconfig --initial -f').
I'm using the open source ati drivers now, which suffer from overheating. I
can't get more that 30 minutes of uptime.
I also have the feeling that my system can't switch between the two VGA cards
(as in bug #1021024 ). That could explain the overheating that I'm experiencing
since forever (though with the open source ati drivers it's gotten even worse,
as I said before) or why fglrx is failing to detect my cards / load properly.
As you can see, switcheroo is enabled:
grep -i switcheroo /boot/config-3.5.0-18-generic
CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO=y
but I haven't got any /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo .
