hello all, I have the same issue. I am running a AMD/ATI RV620/M82 mobility lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV620/M82 [Mobility Radeon HD 3450/3470]
As I could find out AMD has stopped the support of the chip so the new drivers wouldn't support the "old" card. Damn, the notebook is a litte more older than 3 years. Have I to switch my hardware every time a driver gets unavailable? I hate it really, the crap with the proprietary drivers... I do not play, do not use 3D but I need a fast desktop for work. Okay enough of my pain. Here the supported chips http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/amdcatalyst13-4linreleasenotes.aspx You could try to downgrade your drivers AND your x-server with the ppa https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/fglrx and here a duplicate entry https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1184339 hope it helps -- 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/1173967 Title: fglrx and fglrx-updates not working (Ubuntu 13.04) Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I made a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.04, then to solve the overheating problem with open source drivers, tried to install the proprietary ati drivers from the update manager. Both not worked, leaving the system with only the wallpaper and the mouse pointer. Same story with the ati installer (catalyst 13.4). I tried both, generating packages for Ubuntu and using the .run installer itself. Always wallpaper and pointer. It seems that no installation of ati drivers is possible on Ubuntu 13.04. I have a Radeon HD 6770M / Intel system.
