[Bug 755032] [NEW] unity freezes after installing fglrx driver

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: unity

After installing fglrx driver X freezes.  Mouse cursor can still move
but clicking has no effect. The screen displays but does not update.
This problem happened after installing proprietary fglrx drivers in
Natty beta.  I have compiz enabled and I was using Unity when this
problem occurred.

Also when I try to play a game with fglrx driver. The driver can not
change the screen resolution correctly. Instead of  full screen I see a
small box at the centre. And game works in this box instead of full
screen

Also fgl_glxgears is too slow.
