Tibor Halasz, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Did you download fglrx software from the AMD website directly?

[Tibor Halasz (orb)]

Hello,

Yes, I use fglrx from AMD site. I tried from v. 12.8 to 12.10, but the
result is the same.

Tibor Halasz, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, fglrx downloaded from AMD's website directly is not a software package provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package. Thanks!
