Bug Description

On my laptop with AMD E-450 processor, I see that Additional drivers suggest 2 options for graphics drivers.

* Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators
* ATI Fire GL

I selected "Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators" and it installed activated it. However after reboot I see that "ATI Fire GL" is activated. When I click on it, I see "This driver is activated but not currently in use" and "Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators" NOT active.

 I re-activate ""Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators" and apply, I see that it is deactivated after reboot.

I am not sure why this is suppose to be so confusing. Cant there be only a single option which is AMD graphics accelerator driver?
