This is the upstream bug report for this issue. It appears to be a incompatibily issue with the newer versions of Cairo (1.12.2+) and fglrx. I do not know if newer version of fglrx fix this cairo issue, as there is still the Radeon 12.10 driver set in the repos on both Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #56657 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56657 ** Also affects: libcairo (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132033 Title: Gnome-Shell activities shows black background with fglrx in raring To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1132033/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
