Dave Lentz, this report is not the same as bug 1058040 as the scope of 1058040 is HD2000-4000 series cards, and a Firestream 9250 is not a part of that series.
As well, as per AMD, a fix for HD2000-4000 series cards in Ubuntu 12.10+ is not planned, and the newest release available for those cards was provided on 7/24/2012 as per http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/legacy/Pages/legacy- radeon_linux.aspx . However, AMD has recently and explicitly provided a beta release for the Firestream 9250 on 12/3/2012 as per http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.11.1&product=2.11.1.3.3&lang=English . However, they did not explicitly note it is covered under 13.1 (which provides Ubuntu 12.10 support). AMD has been contacted to confirm if the Firestream 9250 is covered under 13.1 or not, and if/when Ubuntu 12.10 support will be available. we are awaiting their response. If you have any questions about this or any other fglrx report, please direct them to the Ubuntu X team at https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-x . Thank you for your understanding. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1058040 fglrx-installer not working with AMD Radeon/Mobility Radeon HD 2000-4000 cards in Quantal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1075035 Title: 1002:9452 fglrx graphics broken on upgrade with AMD FireStream 9250 Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 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 screen on a 24" monitor) - I couldn't even view the full width of a page in Firefox. Apparently AMD is still releasing drivers for the Firestream series, so I don't know what went wrong in my case. I can try reinstalling fglrx to see what happens, or whatever suggestions might help diagnose the issue. WORKAROUND: I've managed to get back to a working desktop by purging everything related to fglrx and using the open source drivers.
