** Description changed: - Provide details about the issue. + I'm using a HP Pavilion G62 that switches between two ATI cards: a HD 4200 and a HD 5400. After upgrading from Precise to Quantal, the resolution is very low, no compositing is available, Unity fails to load, no window decorations are present and I just get the cursor, a wallpaper and desktop icons (same as bug #1068661 ). + Many people are experiencing (almost) the same issues with HD 6xxx and HD 7xxx branches too. + + + My bug report could end here, however, I'm adding more information just + for completeness: + + I thought that since the Radeon HD 4xxx branch is now legacy + (unsupported) I had to install fglrx-legacy drivers from + ppa:makson96/fglrx (even if my secondary card is supported) which also + downgrades the X server, but it didn't work: I just got a black screen + and Xorg segmentation faults, no matter which xorg.conf is used (I tried + with Quantal's default and 'amdconfig --initial -f'). + + I'm using the open source ati drivers now, which suffer from + overheating. I can't get more that 30 minutes of uptime. + + I also have the feeling that my system can't switch between the two VGA + cards (as in bug #1021024 ). That could explain the overheating that I'm + experiencing since forever (though with the open source ati drivers it's + gotten even worse, as I said before) or why fglrx is failing to detect + my cards / load properly.
