[Workaround] Use the FOSS -ati driver. [Original Report] I run updates today on my quantal box. I have a ATI Madison [Radeon HD 5000M Series] and the updates removes the xserver-xorg-video-radeon and xserver-xorg-video-ati When I restart, all xserver is broken because /usr/bin/X cannot be found. I even don't have vesa or fbdev for start with "startx" command. I install with recovery mode xserver-xorg-video-vesa and xserver-xorg- video-fbdev and now I have a crappy 1024 resolution and no second monitor support. If I install the packages xserver-xorg-video-radeon and xserver-xorg- video-ati I still have the same problem. So I try to install fglrx-updates, and it conflicts with a dependency of a virtual package that it is not provided anymore sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates Reading package lists...
