I succeeded in finding a workaround for Gnone Shell being displayed correctly. Caution: this describe what I remember I did, and I did not reproduce it.
Basically, I tried to follow the steps presented here: http://drivers.downloadatoz.com/tutorial/28724,how-to-install-and- uninstall-amd-catalyst-11-10-on-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot.html So, now, to what I did: 1. I unninstalled fglrx* according to the procedure therein 2. I downloaded the Catalyst driver and tried to install it 3. Installation failed and told me about using (but not recommending using) the "--force" option 4. I installed Catalyst using the "--force option" 5. I restarted and entered Gnome Shell, which was falling back in the fallback mode and had some strange resolution 6. I unninstalled the Catalyst driver according to the procedure described therein 7. I restarted and, now, for an unknown reason, Gnome Shell is displayed correctly OTOH, Unity is still not working (only the Nautilus toolbar is displayed) and only Unity-2D is wavailable. Do not forget about being cautious. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/838577 Title: GNOME Shell display problems with FGLRX To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fglrx/+bug/838577/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
