Login messed up after upgrading kernel

[Junayeed Ahnaf]

Hello,

I'm using Linux 3.10.x kernel and I have AMD proprietary graphics driver running
akmod. The 3.9.9 kernel series was working fine until the latest update came. 

Now I can't log in using the new kernel, tthe screen goes black and it logs itself
out. I can't even log back in.

The older kernel is working flawlessly though. Any solution?

Probably not.  I saw display corruption after suspend on a Lenovo T430s 
running the standard Intel video drivers.  It would seem that there are 
bugs to be sorted out in the new kernel release.

You should know that top-posting and sending html messages to a mailing

I play some games via steam and I need the proprietary driver for better gaming. I hope an
update fixes the driver - kernel issue :)

Tough luck for you.  You'll just have to wait until AMD update their
driver.  I gave up on the proprietary driver years ago; it's incredibly
buggy and there's a lag between kernel updates and updates for the
driver. Why don't you switch to the free drivers?
