AFAIC, UBUNTU gone to the ZOO long ago

I don't see it on their webpage. It still shows the 12.04. Maybe the local servers haven't updated or something. Anyway I already have 12.10 since july and it's frustrating that even today I still have the bugs that I had back then. For example on xfce if I have a long filelist the scroll bar becomes invisible (thinner than 1px). Not something major but it's annoying.

It's small things like these people notice when I show them linux and then they say this is a joke of OS. And I understand them.

it's a joke of an OS because of X.org and pulseaudio. Also because you need to add PPA to get the latest apps. also because of lack of itunes and office.

Amarok. Google docs.

It's out now.

Intel i5 2500 + Radeon 7870, standard setup.

It works only with the default driver which is dog slow.
With fglrx it works only up to the login screen, after that no desktop, not even terminal (ctrl + alt + F*).

Nice work AMD, Canonical and Kernel guys.

This is because your Radeon is too new for the OSS-driver and the software-based LLVMpipe-driver is used.

With fglrx it works only up to the login screen, after that no desktop, not even terminal (ctrl + alt + F*).

The latest fglrx-driver which is included in Ubuntu 12.10 should support your card. But fglrx is known to be a bit shaky.

Nice work AMD, Canonical and Kernel guys.

Blame AMD for not releasing a proper driver for your card and/or full specs in time to the kernel developers. Canonical can only pick the work of the kernel developers and they can't to magic.

I had kernel headers missing for some reason. Stupid I know.
Make sure to have "linux-headers-generic"(except if you want pae etc, do accordingly), then reinstall fglrx/fglrx-updates(apt-get install --reinstall).
That worked for me. Oh, and "amdconfig --initial -f" ..(as root always)

Don't know if this can fix it for you.
