我开始将发行版从 13.04 更新到 13.10。然后我得到了 Radeon HD 2600。
我从官方网页安装了与 RV630 兼容的 Catalystdriver。
然后每次我打开浏览器或 vlc fx 时 xserver 都会崩溃。
我注意到下面的配置中没有列出驱动程序。
michael@statubtunu:~$ lshw -c video

我从 jockey 和 ubuntu softwarecenter ati-driver 安装了附加驱动程序。但这只会导致 xserver 完全崩溃，当我输入时：

这就是出现的内容，但没有 GUI。
有什么办法可以解决这个问题吗？

如果我没记错的话，Ubuntu 13.10 (3.11) 使用的内核不再支持旧版 AMD 专有 Catalyst 驱动程序。现在您唯一的选择是使用 Ubuntu 附带的开源 radeon 驱动程序。与 Catalyst 驱动程序相比，它现在应该已经提供了不错的性能（~80%）和功耗。
要解决此问题，您需要卸载 Catalyst 驱动程序：
sudo apt-get purge fglrx
如果由于某种原因您确实需要专有驱动程序，则此链接可能会有所帮助：http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2181190&p=12823425#post12823425
