Ubuntu 12.04 unstable: After I install catalyst I can't play video

Asked by Martin Niclasen

I don't know if this is a bug, but this is the second time i try to install 12.04.

Everytime I install the catalyst driver and play a video i get logged out. Also, when i log in i get some currupted graphics. But the currupted graphics also happend with the standard driver.

What is the probelm?
When I play a video I get logged out of ubuntu.

Why does this happen?
I think it is due to the catalyst driver.

What I did;
This is the second time I try to install 12.04. Very time I install the catalyst driver and there after play a video i get logged out. I have tried with jockey - first time. And the latest 12.1 driver.

Please report a bug or rather search if the issue is already known, Precise is still beta-1 and fixing bugs has priority.
