Title:
Can't install ATI AMD proprietary drivers in Ubuntu 12.10
Status in AMD fglrx video driver:
New
Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
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. 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
