Hi,
Hopefully you can help me. I have a panp7 and when I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10, the opensource driver for the video card (ATI Mobility Radeon 4570) was installed, so everything looked fine.
My problem is that I do need the propietary driver mainly for 2 reasons:
- The first one is that I usually attach one monitor to my panp7 when working and the opensource driver seems to have an issue with this and Unity. You see the resoluction fine, but the screen starts flickering randomly. Having the propietary driver solves this issue.
- The second reason is that the opensource driver does not use the video card in a 100%, so that creates a problem when trying to play games.
Well, the problem is that when I tried installing the driver from the Ubuntu software center, it crashed. I later on found
this article that tells you that the propietary driver is now legacy and won't be supported. It also tells you how to install the legacy driver. I tried this solution and it works, but the problem is that I'd like to use only the official repos that Canonical provides, and obviously yours.
So, what do you recommend to me? Do you have a solution for this?
Thank you in advance,
Pablo Gonzalez
