ati - Unity won't to start after installing proprietary AMD graphics driver

After installing Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit, I installed all the updates, and then I installed the proprietary AMD graphics drivers for my AMD Radeon 7670M 1GB DDR3 graphics card (I have Samsung NP350V5X), but after restart when I login to my account, I can't get to the Unity desktop.


First I tried to install Gnome Shell, but when I tried to boot to that I just got Gnome Fallback (old Gnome 2 style). Next I tried this: Unity does not start in Ubuntu 13.04


dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
unity --reset-icons &disown

The open source graphics driver works OK, but I want better 3D performance, and I can't get that with the open source driver.
