I had some success with 11.12 as well. I can't declare full victory because I am having trouble using dual monitors with it--seeing some problems with Gnome Shell that I am not seeing under unity such as flickering and freezing (sometimes only on the external monitor). But in general, I can use Gnome Shell with this version. I downloaded the driver directly from AMD at http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx.
I followed these instructions, which were somewhat simpler than others I have seen (though it doesn't do all of the uninstalling that some of the other instruction sets I have seen do), to install it: http://mygeekopinions.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-install-atiamd- catalyst-linux.html Obviously I substituted the current filenames for the older ones in the instructions. But install and reboot and I was able to see Gnome Shell with perfect clarity, not with garbled menus and crazy stripes, etc. -- 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
