So here's the problem. I have a rather old laptop, bought it in 2007. It's an Acer Aspire 5100-5023 if that means anything to anyone. It has an integrated graphics card, ATI Radeon Xpress 1100. ATI (I guess AMD now) no longer provides legacy support for this card.
Now I have Ubuntu 12.10. It has xorg 1.13. Unity wont run correctly with out that version of xorg.
Well, this is a painful topic, because I see, that graphic card developers don't want to support Linux environment with their drivers.
I have HP Probook i5-2430M CPU, ATI Radeon HD 6490M/ Intel HD Graphics 3000 and 4GB of RAM.
I tried different drivers but when i do simple tasks, my PC is overheating and CPU temperature goes between 70-80 degrees Celsius.
As I remember, all the time, after fresh-installing Ubuntu on my HP ProBook 4530s, the Radeon graphics doesn't work, it uses Intel Sandybridge Mobile instead.
I have bought a new HP ENVY-4 ultrabook. It has an i5 processor, preinstalled windows7 and 2GB radeon graphics card. What happened was when I started using ubuntu it showed overheating. I ignored it but after a few days it burnt my laptop battery to 0% capacity. It was just one month old so I got the battery replaced for free. I tried installing linux mint but it also showed overheating.
Latest proprietary AMD Catalyst driver version 12.9 cannot be used with Ubuntu 12.10 If you have a AMD Radeon HD 2xxx-4xxx series card.
Drivers for these cards are now available in a separate branch called legacy series. Unfortunately these legacy drivers (version 12.6) have not been updated to work with Ubuntu 12.10.

I have an HP Pavilion DV7-4263CL which as an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6370s card in it.
The problem I'm having is that it is overheating. However, the catch is that it's overheating so quickly that I can't even get through the initial software updates before the laptop shuts down.
Any tips on the quickest way after a stock installation to get the overheating problem under control.

Unfortunately, I did not save the Xorg.0.log of fglrx. So I only wrote what I remember because I had to reinstall the xf86-video-ati drivers to have X working.I have only one problem with Radeon/KMS/Xorg drivers in EFI and BIOS modes. When I go in full screen mode (Ctrl_Alt+f) with qemu(-kvm), I get a white/black screen flicking. I have to Control-Backspace-Delete and go back to console.
