Having BIG troubles!
I have a HP g6 pavilion with an amd a4 apu with integrated radeon graphics. Installed mint 15 with cin. 1.8 and installed the fglrx driver ( it was the latest version when LM 15 came out) worked great.
Then I scratched LM 15 for LMDE (whatever the first release in 2014 was, had the EUFI compatible iso file). Tryed installing the fglrx driver on cin. 2.0, but after reboot cin. crashed.
Since then I've tried installing pure Debian wheezy with fglrx driver, gnome crashes; Ubuntu latest stable release with the fglrx driver, unity and gnome crashed; LM 16 with the fglrx driver, cin. 2.0 crashes. Used DBAN to wipe my HD and installed LMDE fresh with fglrx 14.4.2 driver, cin. 2.0 crashes.
Help please! This is a nightmare!

What would you recommend besides fglrx?
Re: cinnamon crashes with fglrx driver install
if you're not a gamer then the open source driver is will do the job. simply uninstall fglrx then reboot. the good news, although I haven't checked it yet, but if your card (Radeon HD 7420G) is supported with the fglrx version then you might still can use it with several adjustment on X configuration. the sad news, I can't help you further to debug X and fix the issue since it's out of my capability. my best recommendation is to use the open source driver.
Re: cinnamon crashes with fglrx driver install
I'm a web developer and 2D/3D designer; I need fglrx if possible, but will settle for the open source driver if necessary. Thanks for your help.
I have considered uninstalling fglrx and installing the open source driver.
Would still like to go on with fglrx though. Someone know what I need to do from here?
