You can add me to the list on this one - I've got a Nettop with the AMD ION E350 chipset, which had a 12.04.3 (?4) precise LTS install on it - very foolishly accepted the offer from Update manager to install the latest HWE stack ,and my AMD graphics driver disappeared.

Dependencies for the fglrx packages will not allow them to install with the trusty-lts HWE packages - Additional driver manager will no longer offer the AMD/ATI drivers for my card, and an attempt to manually install fglrx-updates via synaptic appears to want to back everything out to HWE lts-saucy, which I'm pretty sure is what I was running before.

Something is really broken in the dependencies for the lts-trusty HWE packages, and it seems to be killing all of the proprietary video drivers....

Of course, I've got no 3D support now, which is a little limiting on a machine that's primarily used for <ahem> 3D applications...
