Hello

This is duplicate of following tickets:

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/900563

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/1028543

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/846749 
 
I have raised this one though ubutu-bug so all logs could be uploaded to lunchpad. Fell free to close it if you manage to move data to any other ticket.

Full report on this laptop
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/precise/DellInspironM5030

To summarise:
 * laptop doesn't boot with ubuntu 12.04.1 disk
 * boots with "acpi=off"
 * jockey supplied proprietary drivers don't work
 * driver from AMD support solves problems and makes this laptop usable

cheers

Daz
