Bug Description
Binary package hint: policykit-1-gnome
the "found proprietary driver" icon showed up in the bar, i pressed and found that there is a tested ATI driver, i was happy and surely installed it to see the new visual effects of unity. After the restart, everything seems great until i enter my login pass and see my desktop background, suddenly black screen comes and my mouse seems to reveal it square by square by moving around , also newly opened windows are balcked once i click inside them and are not viewable till i drage the window by the bar just to attempt to see where to click.
my GPU mode: AMD mobility 5470 on Dell N5010
