I can add the AMD Firestream 9250 to the list of affected video cards -
just upgraded and I've got the same problems as everyone else in this
report. I'll try the open source drivers until I can get enough of a
working desktop to investigate further. (I'm having trouble even viewing
a website on fi
Public bug reported:
I upgraded my desktop at home to 12.10 today, and wound up with complete
failure of graphics: compiz would not work and hence Unity would not start - I
had only a desktop and a terminal (accessed via Ctrl-Alt-T). Screen resolution
was very poor (and used only 75% of the scr
Sorry for the mix-up. The problem sounded identical to mine, and I was
limited in my abilities to search around since my screen resolution was
shot to the point that firefox was too wide to fit on the screen. I've
added a new bug and subscribed you as suggested.

I tried the workaround, but ran into some problems:
- in step 5, the command apt-get -y reinstall was not recognised. The
"reinstall" seems to be the wrong code. I couldn't recall what the correct
command was, so I did this step via synaptic.
- step 6 failed because there was no package "fglrx-

I could, but probably not until the weekend - I'll need time to do a
12.04 install on this machine (my home computer) and I've got a really
busy week at work. (My work computer still has 12.04 - I need a graphics
program that depends on qt3 - but no AMD graphics.)

Christopher, is there anything further you might need me to check? I am
planning to apply a "workaround" this week of a GeForce 650 I got a good
deal on :-) I'll hold off on swapping the cards in case you need me to
follow up on anything. I'm not using the Firestream for any GP-GPU
computing or a
I'll try installing the latest drivers from the AMD website at some
point, although Unity's working just fine for me at the moment so I'm
not too bothered!

OK, although it's been my experience with Ubuntu up to and including
11.04 that with the open source driver most games with 3D graphics are
unplayable - even something like SuperTuxKart. So I'd rather have
Unity+Games than GNOME Shell with no games, especially since my
preferences lean towards Uni
But with the Fedora 15 Live CD you'd be using the open source drivers -
GNOME shell works fine with those, last time I tried. (I had Fedora 15
installed for awhile but had all kinds of pain with broken packages,
system settings, etc.) It's a bit of a hassle to get fglrx drivers
installed on Fedor
Hi Bryce,
I stopped trying to use gnome shell not long after reporting the bug; partly
because it just wasn't working, but mostly because I've been happy with Unity
and haven't felt the urge to play with other desktops lately.
However, there are plenty of comments from people other than myself, s
My apologies if the bug tracker is the wrong place to post this, but
thank you x1000 for fixing this. I've got desktop-based switching and
gtk scrolling both working without patches/ppas for the first time in a
long time. Great work!

Thanks for the response. To be honest, I'd forgotten about this bug. It was so
weird/specific to begin with (only one website ever caused problems). The issue
also seems to have disappeared on upgrading to 14.10.
It never occurred to me to upgrade the BIOS - the utilities are always

Thanks for the update. I gave my FireStream to someone interested in
doing some GP-GPU computing and bought an NVIDIA card. I'll let them
know although I think they're running CentOS (with an older X version).
