Comment 189 for bug 1068404

I tried the steps by AG. I'm finding it very hard to navigate as windows won't minimize and i can't alt+tab switch between windows. I have to destroy windows to switch around. Is there a better mode i can switch to (gnome instead of compiz?) while im troubleshooting.

Also wondering if there is a way to test if the installs went ok. I still have low-graphics mode. Boot up is fine. I get the desktop wallpaper. But no launchpad and many windowing issues like those mentioned above.

I started having troubles after 12.10 -> 13.04. I upgraded to 13.10. Still problems.
Running on an intel5 with radeon hd5470.

It seems like the upgrade undid all my work to get crysal fglrx working previously. Perhaps there should be a dialog to check before wiping out fglrx for xorg drivers. I want to do some gpu programming and need the fglrx to work with opencl etc packages.
