Bug Description
Hi guys i am not sure if this is the right place to file this bug here. if not please forgive me.
i recently baught a hp dv6 3150sa 64bit win7 laptop and dual booted with ubuntu 10.10 64 bit.installation was flawless and on my first reboot after the installation a message poped up telling that there is a a driver available for you computer. it read ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics card driver. I installed this driver and on reboot i chose ubuntu10.10 again which took me to the command mode. i tried doing cold boot a couple of time more and then realised i have lost the graphical desktop.
To my skills re installation was the only option and i havent installed this driver again.
i have got an inbuilt ATI mobility readon HD 5470 graphic card(switchable with intel HD GMA)
regards

I have the same issue with a brand new HP dv6 3322.
My laptop have an ATI card and an integrated Intel graphic. The issue seems related to the switchable cards that are not supported by the ATI driver.
I do not want to come back to Win7, but if I do not reach to use the ati card with Ubuntu, it will be the only solution.
