Thank you Nick, your fix worked for me... But I've faced with some problems... 1 - Think we should download both dbg and regular xserver-xorg-intel packages in PPA 2 - After installing those packages, we should reboot the system Then install fglrx driver (I've installed 12.11 successfully for

nice Nick. It worked like a charm for me at least. Even the Integrated card driver, so now there is no over-heating. Finally i am using 12.10 and enjoying it rather. I hope they fix this dependency problem, because now I have to be very careful while updating the system that I do not update my

For those who have hybrid video Intel/AMD. Install xserver-xorg-video-intel and fglrx-updates from this PPA[1]. After installing it, don't forget to setup xorg.conf with aticonfig tool. That worked for me. Obs: now, I'm in trouble trying to enable video GPU acceleration with libva. =P [1]

Hi Edson, thanks for the feedback. I will be waiting to see if the `xserver-xorg-video-intel` package from my PPA fixes their problem too (you don't need to install the fglrx-updates package) If yes, I will suggest to merge the two bugs as they are duplicates. BTW, the link to my PPA is this:
