I don't run C6 on this series but having tried both C6 and C7 on a HP
Touchsmart with AMD/ATI GPU, my suggestion echos others in the thread,
stay away from AMD graphics for laptops. C7 works fine, once I got
proprietary AMD drivers installed and remembered to recompile them
after a kernel version jump.
