Proprietary AMD driver freezes my Ideapad
- by mote
I got this problem that I can't figure out what to do about.
On Ideapad s205 with Ubuntu 12.04* (64), if I install Catalyst Centre 12.1 or newer it Freeze (lock's up), 1-3 times a day. It doesn't suffer freezing when using Radeon driver, but Radeon driver are considerably slower and flickers, so I would really prefer the proprietary driver (with no freezing).
I reported the bug to launchpad but it doesn't get attention. -Also tried Ubuntu forums.
Reported bug to AMD bug site "http://ati.cchtml.com/", but I don't think anybody reads it.
Wrote AMD support several times, but get silly answers like "reinstall Windows". -Asked them to send the bug to Linux driver developers, but never heard a thing (more than once). The same nothing happens when writing to the feedback link from AMD driver download site.
I'm so frustrated here, any advice would help.
Thanks
(*The same on Ubuntu 11.10)
