Bug Description

Ran a dist-upgrade and now my screen resolution is all wrong. AMD's CCC tells me that driver isn't loaded. No idea how to resolve this.

Ken Sharp, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Just to clarify, you ran a dist-upgrade from Oneiric, into Precise, and now it does not work, correct?

Changed in xorg (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Incomplete

No, I'm in Precise and had fglrx-updates installed. Ran a dist-upgrade and now it doesn't work.
Purged that and installed fglrx and the problem has gone away.

The older version of fglrx-updates added... I don't know but it reported my graphics card correctly when using glxinfo, fglrx doesn't.
