    Radeon HD 7850M and HP Envy 17 3200

    I am having issues with the kernel updates breaking the radeon drivers on my HP Envy 17T-3200 series. I tried the open sourced ones, as well as directly from AMD. Every time I take a linux-headers update my compiz crashes leaving me with a blank screen and no unity. Is there a fix for this?

    bump, anyone? When I take updates for kernel headers, it crashes compiz and I have no unity. Is there anyway I can backlist the ATI card and just use intel??

    So which driver are you using (and if it's fglrx/Catalyst, how did you install it)?

    I tried the built in open source, fglrx and every time it takes a kernel update it breaks my install. Then I tried using the Catalyst drivers from AMD, works great until I take a kernel update then it breaks them again. To fix I have to purge fglrx and the amd stuff.

    How did you install these? If you just ran the file downloaded from AMD, you did it wrong. You need to follow procedure here to build the kernel module with dkms so that it doesn't break every time you install a new kernel: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...TI.27s_site.29
    and then: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...rg.conf_file_2

    No, followed the instructions to a T, no unity.

    Ubuntu starts with "This system is running in low-graphics mode"
