You have been subscribed to a public security bug:

I have a laptop with ATI Radeon 6770M HD Hybrid graphics card. In Ubuntu
12.04, I installed the fglrx driver through "additional drivers" and it
worked. (I can even switch GPUs). But in the new Ubuntu 12.10, after
installing, Unity won't load.

Only the mouse and the wallpaper. If I initialize the settings sudo
aticonfig --initial then after rebooting it gives a warning saying I'm
in low graphics mode! How to fix this?

Even tried the drivers from AMD website (both the old 8.* and the new
9.* drivers)

Earlier i used software source to install the drivers. But when using
the terminal, I got this warning :

- update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative
/usr/lib/fglrx/ld.so.conf because link group x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf is
broken

This PPA does not solve the problem
