I've found that enabling force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint in the workaround plugin in CCSM eliminates the issue for me. Works on 14.04 with 337.12 and older 334 drivers. Despite the tooltip saying that it will cause a massive increase in cpu and gpu usage, there is no noticable

I just had to say that I agree the current design looks a bit strange. However one thing I do like is being able to throw the mouse up in the corner to hit the close button on maximized apps. If that was changed I think you'd hear about it from alot of users. I still think the design in Natty

@Giuseppe Terrasi Did you completely remove your existing fglrx driver before installing the .deb from xorg-edgers? You can also try installing the drivers directly from AMD's website too. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx -- You received this bug notification

Yes, I have always read that you should purge the driver first before installing a newer version. You can easily remove fglrx with this command- sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* After you run this install the new driver then reboot and hopefully you'll boot
