Ubuntu – ‘X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)’ after installing the AMD binary driver on 12.10

12.10atidriversgraphics

I have just installed the binary driver for AMD hardware on Ubuntu 12.10 using the "Installing upstream drivers directly from AMD's website" method. But now when I run 'fglrxinfo', I get this message:

X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 153 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
Serial number of failed request: 12
Current serial number in output stream: 12

How can I get the driver working properly?

Currently there is no AMD driver available that installs and is able to run Unity successfully. For more information and follow up on the bug please check out this post

Remove the proprietary driver and use the open-source one for now.
