Sounds like a regression with the graphics driver. We have to figure out if it's loading the fglrx or radeon drivers by default. From there we can proceed to figure out what went wrong.
Interestingly, the pre-install project for these machines disable updating of the driver. I suppose they found too many regressions: Package: disable-jockey-fglrx Priority: extra Section: admin Installed-Size: 29 Maintainer: James Ferguson <[email protected]> Architecture: amd64 Version: 1.2 Filename: pool/public/d/disable-jockey-fglrx/disable-jockey-fglrx_1.2_amd64.deb Size: 3372 SHA256: 50aa60fcc3f9716331d28885b176a6453e9a09d3f0fc3da6342bb1ae2756e426 SHA1: 0f003bd70b6466e0a26b6c62e78ab71f3ac36e6d MD5sum: 5977f04d45c6339d54d1ccae2aaca5e3 Description: Prevents loading of invalid fglrx drivers This package prevents Jockey (the "Additional Drivers" app) from suggesting the load of invalid versions of the fglrx (AMD/ATI graphics driver) package. Removal of this package may allow Jockey to replace a working driver with an invalid one.
