Correct drivers for AMD Radeon™ HD 7650M
So,
I have a Sony Vaio sve15118fg running Ubuntu 12.10 which comes with an AMD Radeon™ HD 7650M graphics chip.
This was all working fine until some updates (note sure what they were) came through, after installing my laptop now no longer boots properly, specifically:
- Upon attempting to boot the screen starts flicking violent striped horizontal lines.
This can only be corrected via the power button. - Attempting to do anything in recovery - bar dropping to a root shell - runs
fsckwhich ends up hanging (although the system still responds there is no HDD activity). This is remedied via Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart the system. - Running
fsckmanually from the root shell completes successfully.
I have attempted numerous things including removing all propriety drivers, Trying the two installed propriety drivers, installing the latest beta driver from AMD. etc.
These all yeild various results, such as the same as above, or a gnome-fallback session, or a gnome-shell session with various flickers and graphical artifacts.
So, I am wondering, what the heck do I have to do to get this to work?!?
I don't really game, especially in ubuntu, so I just want a working system! not fussed about 3d acceleration of whatever...

Try http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst1211betadriver.aspx. I was able to get this beta driver to work successfully with a Radeon HD video card running Ubuntu 12.04. Had similar problem with an ASUS box before installing this driver.

I'm having exactly the same problem with a Vaio SVE1512 with HD7650M...
Still didn't find the way to get rid of the problem (have you found one?).
However discovered a dirty workaround for the open-source radeon driver:
boot the machine and wait for the screen to start flickering. At this point close the laptop lid and wait about 10s for the system to enter sleep/standby mode.
Then open laptop lid and resume the pc from sleep/standby.
Now there should be no flickering problem until next system boot.
p.s.: note that, after resuming from sleep/standby, there's no problem at all (even with 3d games like extremetuxracer) until next boot

The solutions is to have Ubuntu 12.04.3 or 13.10 (recommended) then do the following:
sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-pxpress
Then: sudo amdcccle and set the graphics to intel graphics :)
