Well my Radeon 9600m (RV350) with r300g works OK. Only the unity menu is bit laggy (because of blur probably). So far it works good.

ATI Radeon HD 3200 (RS780) malfunctions ONLY with Gnome Shell
Originally posted by Veerappan View PostI've upgraded my mythbuntu machine and had to do a few things to fix the upgrade-induced breakages:
AMD Phenom II x3 720
Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit (upgraded from 11.04)
4GB DDR2
2x 1.5TB in software RAID1
Radeon HD 3200 (780G motherboard)
But Gnome Shell acts funny. It flickers. The top bar shows different colors. My name at the end misses some characters, etc.
For your ready reference, I have fglrx-updates, fglrx-amdccle-updates, and xserver-xorg-video-radeon packages installed from the repository.
Additional drivers (From system settings - Additional drivers) shows ATI AMD Proprietary FGLRX graphics driver and post-release update for the same as unactivated.
When I tried activiting the post-release update, it resulted in an error (/var/log/jockey.log).
What am I doing wrong? How do I get Gnome Shell working?
Thanks in advance.

fglrx has several driver bugs that prevent it from working with Gnome Shell. Things have gotten a little better with fglrx 11.9 and will probably improve more in the future, but for proper support you need to revert to the open-source drivers. That's what I did and I can finally enjoy Gnome Shell properly (plus, better 2d performance and suspend works again).
