I installed ATI Radeon HD 3650 on Ubuntu 12.10 32-bit using following commands:

cd lib/3.5.0-17-generic/kernel/drivers
unzip *.zip
chmod +x *.run
sudo ./*.run

but after restarting the system, I saw a change in resolution in the login page, and also the desktop didn't load the icons and menu bar after logging in. Actually after logging in, I just have a desktop with nothing but the background wallpaper. How can I fix this?

I'm going to answer the same as this recent question: What drivers do I need? How do I install them?

The problem is that the latest fglrx drivers doesn't support 2XXX - 4XXX graphic cards models. Then, the only way I found that may makes the driver working is using fglrx-legacy from this repository: https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/fglrx

The command line steps are these:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:makson96/fglrx
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install fglrx-legacy

Although, you can install it manually using the official package: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/legacy/Pages/legacy-radeon_linux.aspx

If you want to install them with the package from AMD (recommended), you can use this guide: What is the correct way to install proprietary ATI Catalyst Video Drivers (fglrx) directly from AMD?
