Hey Dave, Thanks for the answer! Now I can better phrase what the problem is.
I don't care too much about 3D (no gaming for instance) but I use unity. If this was known before and going back to the open-source driver is an option then why is it not done during the upgrade? What happened here is that for my production machine I postponed the upgrade until the release was done. I have a couple of other machines on which I do alpha/beta testing and they all looked good. Unfortunately none of them is an ATI machine. So after the release I did the upgrade and all I got was just the cursor after logging in. For many years I upgraded several machines, from several ubuntu versions, but I 've never seen such a harsh failure before. So maybe this is a bug for the upgrade process, which package is that? Please forgive my ignorance, but what is the preferred way to revert back to the radeon driver? Or shall it be done through xorg.conf?
