HDMI stop working for Ubuntu 12.10

[Tong Sun]

Hi,

The ATI open source driver used to be working for my Acer Aspire AS5536 laptop's HDMI output (both 10.10 and 11.10 worked), but it doesn't work any more in Ubuntu 12.10 -- My TV always shows "Unsupported" no matter which option that I tired.

This is a fresh install.

what other info would you think is relevant and required?

Thanks

Oh, forgot to mention, although the video/image is not shown on my TV, the sound play though HDMI just fine.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Don't know if it works for Ubuntu 13.04, but the LUbuntu 13.10 that I just tried works now.
