hi,
what's your graphic driver model name?
If you are not sure, you may paste the information dumped by the command "lspci -nn"

Hi Taihsiang,

I have a Dell Inspiron 15R SE 7520.

My Graphics Card is a 2GB AMD RADEON HD 7730M.
If I enter "lspci -nn | grep AMD" I get:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Chelsea LP [Radeon HD 7730M] [1002:682f] (rev ff)

Actually my mesa driver works fine, but when I install fglrx the graphics breaks.

I found this certificated system (certified with 12.04.1) has this device.
http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201203-10678/
However it is not in the coverage of precise certification so the component is not fully tested.
.
Would you please file a bug report against your distribution (precise, trusty or ...)?
Thanks.

Can you help with this problem?
