Bug Description

Im using quantal. Not fixed by nick andrikos's ppa. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND

After installing ATI proprietary drivers for my Radeon video card, Unity doesn't start anymore. LightDM shows up, and I'm able to log in, but Unity doesn't load.

Obs: The same occurs when installing fglrx package (if I choose it, instead of fglrx-updates).

 Removing the proprietary driver fixes the issue.

This is the output of lspci -v | grep vga
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Caicos [Radeon HD 6400M/7400M Series]

with the radeon driver the fan was really loud, the laptop was overheating and the battery was draining fast. Then I tried fglrx but unity wouldn't load(only the wallpaper and the mouse) so what I did for now is:
Remove fglrx and use opensource radeon

Use switcheroo (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics) to disable the discrete card(amd). You can add

echo IGD > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

right before exit 0.

This lets the system work , with norma fan, heat and battery.

When i run aticonfig --initial -f i get the following:

sudo aticonfig --initial -f
Uninitialised file found, configuring.

When i reboot the low graaphics thing comes up, i choose reconfigure, reboot again, then no unity

The last piece was after pressing ctrl c in terminal after compiz replace, then i wasnt able to type for some reason.

Unity replace seems to do the same thing:

Rebooted, back at low graphics warning, i guess when i choose reconfigure it undoes the aticonfig initial and switches off the driver, i chose continue in low graphics for one session, it took me to cli, so i just reconfigured again. Using generic whatevers, not the backed up settings

You are not using my packages, you are using the packages from Xorg Edgers:
https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa

Make sure you disable their repository and follow the instructions again.

Thanks,

Verdomde, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, the xorg-edgers fresh X crack PPA 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!

If you are interested in learning more about software repositories and Ubuntu the following pages should be informative:

Hmm, just seems a bit wasteful, as there are at least two other bugs that describe this problem, and this one is already open, is the reason behind this that reporting a bug includes reports from my laptop, which will change when the ppa is removed?

Or i guess because everyones set up is a little different eh?

I've no problem starting a 4th bug if there is good reason :)

Verdomde, if you cannot follow the steps in the workaround, just post
here what errors you get running the commands.
