This also affects me.

Hardware:

HP Envy 15 (about 6 months old), Intel integrated graphics plus Radeon HD 6600M.

I've tried ever PPA that purports to solve the problem, and at this juncture see no alternative to downgrading to 12.04, since the free drivers don't work very well (heat and terrible battery life).

I am left with the inescapable conclusion (and very bad taste in my mouth) that Ubuntu crowdsourced the QA on this one. Maybe you guys ought to consider only doing annual releases, but doing them very well and testing them thoroughly. Once a year done right sure beats twice a year releases that are the software equivalent of Chicago-job wiring.
