    [ubuntu] fglrx doesn't work with switchable graphics

    flgrx won't work w/switchable graphics using non-AMD chipset
    i use core i5 with ati mobility radeon 5470 (so it doesn't have amd chipset)

    this is the X output when graphics mode in BIOS is set to switchable

    Re: [ubuntu] fglrx doesn't work with switchable graphics

    I've read about this before and the error message

    (EE) fglrx(0): Please disable switchable-graphics feature and configure the discrete card as the default adapter
    indicates that you have to disable that feature.

    I don't believe that there is a workaround for this -- but I could be wrong.
    Ubuntu 20.04, Mint 19.10; MS Win10 Pro.
    Will not respond to PM requests for support -- use the forums.
