I installed latest Ubuntu (13.04). If I check from system settings I get that Im using Galllium 0.4 drivers for RS690. I have an ATI card, ATI Radeon X1270...

Every time I open some window or ubuntu is trying to show me some kind of an effect, it hangs a lot. If I open launcher I get this as pictured above. I assume the grene things is transparency.

DO I need new drivers to be installed or what is the solution?

You don't have to install new drivers. Proprietary drivers from AMD (fglrx) are not available for your X1270 any more (unless you go back to Ubuntu 8.04).

This is a known bug of Ubuntu 13.04 with RS690 graphic cards. However, there is a workaround. This askubuntu post contains an answer. You have to disable Dash Blur with compiz-config-settings-manager or a similar application. The Bug-report can be found here on launchpad.

Try disabling proprietry drivers and use generic drivers.

  • Rebooting in safe graphic mode should verify that problem is in the drivers before actually disabling them. – Ahmadgeo May 26 '13 at 20:11
  • He couldn't have installed proprietary drivers. (the combination Ubuntu 13.04 + fglrx + AMD RS690 (X1270) is impossible) – R110 May 26 '13 at 20:23
