Public bug reported:
So I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my HP ProBook 4445s. I applied all
updates on the update manager then installed the FGLRX through
Additional Drivers application.
I then checked the system information if it reports the correct video
driver, since issues with FGLRX were apparent on releases before 12.04
(11.04 and 11.10) on my experience. I was surprised that the problem is
still there.
Thinking that it might just be an installation problem, before I
reformatted my notebook computer again, I tried to run a few
applications through WINE. Surprisingly everything works well, with the
hardware acceleration and all. As I've read on a few reports,
applications use the hardware acceleration quite well. But as for the
desktop experience and videos, the system only uses VESA.
After reformat and installation and updates and driver installation, system
information still reports VESA.
