I'll try that :)

The problem is, I've got an "Dual Graphics" AMD system with two ati gpu's. I installed the newest drivers manually from the amd.com page but that doesn't worked either. I guess it's because of the two cards. I also tried to switch from the integrated gpu to the discrete gpu via the amdconfig tool but it doesn't seems to work.

Thanks for your offer.
I prefer Ubuntu with a vanilla GNOME 3 desktop manager installed. I don't get why Canonical started using this Unity nonsense.

Getting "Dual Graphics" to work may require disabling IOMMU and discrete GPU in your system's BIOS.

IOMMU helps increase the performance of virtual machines when enabled. You can't just disable the discrete GPU in the regular system settings to my understanding.

I'm on arch linux most of the time. I like its simplicity.
For the rest of the time I am using fedora and sometimes MS Win 7.
