Bug Description
[Updated description]
Update of the fglrx-driver (version 2:13.101-
The main symptom is the fallback to unity-2D.
This bug seems target only Precise with no LTS Enablement Stack activated, in other words with Linux 3.2.x and XServer 7.6.
==> please : confirm or infirm using:
uname -rm
apt-cache policy xserver-xorg
It may be in relation with #1058040, about non-support for Radeon [Mobility] HD 2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx on Ubuntu 12.10 and higher.
______
1)Description: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
Release: 12.04
Architecture: amd64
2) apt-cache policy fglrx fglrx-amdcccle
fglrx:
Installé : 2:13.101-
Candidat : 2:13.101-

fglrx-amdcccle:
Installé : 2:13.101-
Candidat : 2:13.101-
3) I expected that the driver :
- set up
- work
4) It did'nt work :
- Ubuntu was very slow
- Unity fall in Unity-2d mode
- when I taped CTRL+SUPER, desktops appears blue
- fglrx-amdcccle failed
- fans were turning at a high speed
- lots of warning messages as described bellow
5) Workaround
I had to downgrade manually the driver to the old 8.960, which works without problem.
You could do it using Synaptics our using the CLI
I tried to do an "apt-get remove fglrx fglrx-amdcccle" but apt-get gaves me fglrx-updates in replacement , with the same issues. I experimented fglrx-update some months (a year?) ago with similar problems, but at that time it was a conscient experimentation.
The 13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 could maybe stay in fglrx-updates, and no fglrx ?
