Hi All I have an AMD APU system with two graphics cards - one integrated and one stand alone (RADEON HD 6550 & 6670). I have been having the same problem as described above, every time I install the driver from AMD's website generating a new xorg.conf, rebooting removes it and the system goes into

I should add that the gpu-manager attached above is actually from the second reboot I tried once the first one failed. xorg.conf was already rewritten in the first reboot attempt. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https:/

@Uwe: Thanks! You are right, it has now regenerated the xorg.conf. However, now a different problem. After the reboot, it gave me a black screen with a mouse pointer (which looked like a cross) and nothing else. I can't even go to the command line with a Ctrl+Alt+F1 anymore. All it gives is a dead
