it's the third time i have to reinstall quantal because the fglrx is making me sick. I have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 (the code ir RS880).When i install Ati Driver, i don't have any problems, but when i reboot, the resolution is minimal and the launcher isn't visible, i can only use the things that are in desktop and use the terminal using CTRL+ALT+T. i've tried to make specific distribution page, downloading the legacy driver from AMD, and another thing: when i had 12.04 jockey told me that i could install some drivers, i had trouble, but that doesn't matter. now, the option to install drivers doesn't tell me about any drivers, i mean, its blank. At the moment i'm using the free drivers (Gallium 0.4 on AMD RS880M. is there any alternative ? or i'll have to live with the free drivers ? Thanks a lot ! I KNOW I HAVE TO INSTALL LEGACY DRIVERS, I'VE INSTALLED THEM, THEY DON'T WORK.

FGLRX doesn't support the HD 4XXX series anymore, use the 12.6 Legacy driver or stay with the Radeon driver. – Uri Herrera Oct 29 '12 at 22:49
I know, that's the driver i've downloaded, there's the problem. – Dii Leoo Oct 29 '12 at 22:49

PLease edit your question to add more information. – Uri Herrera Oct 29 '12 at 22:52
I think Uri may have been referring to the driver the kernel provides... Ubuntu isn't a gaming OS (Yet) you're going to have to hack at it. – Flabricorn Oct 29 '12 at 22:59
