my opinion is that who ever wants to install it, knows it's way around and will quickly find the external PPA to install it. But the average Joe will definitely break his system
@BrunoPereira As I am stating in the question, it's not a show stopper, because I don't require constant log-out/log-in, but the simple fact that I know the problem is there, it gives me the feeling of unstable system :)
@BrunoPereira maybe, but how do I check? I have done the reinstall of the driver like you suggested. After uninstall of fglrx : sudo apt-get install –reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 xserver-xorg-core then reboot and install the new drivers
I reported it. But now I have reverted to the 11.10 driver and the behavior is still the same. How can I make sure I am not using the open source drivers as well?
@rlemon I have a 2.5 year old turkish angora, white as snow. She loves sleeping on my desk while I work. Not once she has shutdown my pc from the keyboard shut-down key :)
@StefanoPalazzo In my additional drivers I have a green dot (meaning it's active) against ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver. But I don't know if this is the open source or catalyst 12.1. I would guess it's the open source one
@Stefano Palazzo OK :) If It's very strange that it behaves so differently with a log-of and a reboot is fine. I got the suggestion to check if the open source drivers are not also loading...but I don't know how.
@Bruno Pereira I guess for recreating xorg.conf I should run "sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". But how to make sure my open source drivers are not also loaded?
