[Hans-Peter <1238188@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had no success with the latest development release.  System boots to
the stage, where one can choose wether to try or to install ubuntu. when
I chose "try ubuntu", the screen got  black, I saw the mouse pointer,
which I could move around and this is how the system looks like the next
30 minutes (or as long as I wait). I've tried to boot  with two
different USB sticks. BTW, I have already installed the upstream kernel

hp@hp:/proc$ cat version 
Linux version 3.12.0-031200rc4-generic (apw@gomeisa) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) ) #201310080738 SMP Tue Oct 8 11:49:39 UTC 2013
hp@hp:/proc$ 

but as always - no desktop effects.

Title:
  [HP Compaq dc5850 Small Form Factor PC] No desktop effects on a radeon
  3100 graphics card in saucy

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On raring, my radeon 3100 was working pretty well. desktop cube switch was working, for example. Blur effect slowed the desktop down. When I upgraded to saucy on sept. 25 I soon noticed that the desktop was very fast. I could even enable blur effect and it didn't do any harm. After the update on Sept. 30. all the graphics performance was gone. Most desktop effects are disabled. Compositing type is set to XRender, Qt graphics sytem is set to Native. When I try to set Compositing Type to OpenGL and Qt graphics sytem to Raster, I get the message, that 6 desktop effect could not be enabled. Detail window says this is because they require OpenGL. I have no idea where to start digging, so any help is appreciated.
  regards,Hans-Peter
  BTW: I'm not using the fglrx driver. I guess they quit support for the 3100 a year ago, or maybe two (or they messed something up)
