[Bug 1290232] [NEW] kubuntu 14.04: graphics driver not working properly

[Hans-Peter]

Public bug reported:

Did the upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04 yesterday (9-mar-2014).  After that, desktop behaviour was strange. I realized that the graphics driver chose the strange resolution for both my display (as DVI-0, std resolution = 1680x1050) and the tv screen on VGA-0 (std resolution = 1920x1080). When i turn on the tv set, graphics driver switches to resoltion 1280x1024.
It is not possible to set the position relatively to each other. It always says 'absolute'. One time it was not possible to 'de-unify' the screens. So i experience a lot of strange behaviour. 
My graphics card is a Radeon 3100.
I think base problem is, that the ati-driver cannot be loaded. fglrx driver, can't be loaded, either. But fglrx quit support for my card some time ago. Until 13.04 the radeon driver was working very fine.
