login twice and random screen reload

Post by mschaer »

Hi there

After setting up LinuxMint 12 x64 on my HP 8560w i installed a working driver for my video card (ATI firepro M5950).
Since then i have to login twice: I start the notebook, it boots and shows the login screen. I type my password, hit enter, the screen turns black for a second then shows again the login screen.

Sometimes similar things happen when i start any Program. The screen turns black, then returns and the Program is started.

Is there a fix or workaround for that?

Thanks
Michael

I found this bug that is kind of the same that i have seen:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/889706

So i tried gnome shell with Ubuntu 11.10 but there i had exactly the same problems.
Since there is no fix for this, i'm using again nasty Unity.
