Sudo apt-get install -reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core Sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati Sudo apt-get remove -purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon sudo apt-get remove -purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* xorg-driver-fglrx In a terminal, try these commands one-by-one and then reboot.

The trick is to reinstall a few components after removing all the fglrx packages. The problem is that, even after removing the proprietary AMD driver, some residual issues still persist that stop the radeon driver from working properly. There were issues with the AMD proprietary driver (“fglrx”) for both my 57 graphics cards and, since I would always prefer to use free software, I decided to revert to the free Radeon driver that does have some 3D support now. I’ve had some issues with graphics in Oneiric Ocelot since the Alpha pre-releases.
