AMD/Intel Hybrid Graphics works

[MikeCyber]

I use a Nvidia but only a quick look and I saw some errors:

Consult /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/9.010/build/make.log

DKMS make.log for fglrx-9.010 for kernel 3.7.0-4-generic (x86_64)
Wed Dec  5 02:47:49 EST 2012
AMD kernel module generator version 2.1
kernel includes at /lib/modules/3.7.0-4-generic/build/include not found or incomplete
file: /lib/modules/3.7.0-4-generic/build/include/linux/version.h

I'm confused

It appears to me that you did not run this command...

sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7.0-4-generic/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7.0-4-generic/include/linux/version.h

EDIT: maybe I pasted the wrong symlink command, posted tested one.

I've uploaded a patched version of AMDs newest fglrx drivers which works with Steam.
Of course, do the symlinking before installing it with "dpkg -i fglrx*.deb"

Beidl - You Rock

i just spent a half hour w a Linux guru going over your suggestions, and am left with a renewed optimism that this 11 month issue may finally have a resolution BECAUSE of YOU. I will be home in the hour and will do everything you said after from a fresh install - yet again. I SURE HOPE YOU ARE MY SAVIOUR IN THIS WORKS !!!!!

I will keep you apprised of both success or lack there of, and thanks again,
Mark

well Beidl,

no luck - ARGHHHHHHH - everything up to amdconfig....went painfully but successfully- but after it, it either went to terminal, or after a very basic Xorg.conf file I manually wrote it just went to a grey screen. Deleting the file allows me to get into Kubuntu, and lshw recognizes the fglrx driver (Your version - patched, was installed), but it certainly isnt functioning. Assume I did eeverthing you said and alittle more too. Wow, at least it installed and allowed a reboot, and just the config process is screwing it up.

Is it hopeless, at this point? - or do You by chance have any other ideas. I sure thought this might work especially with yor extensive installation, and our similar systems - mine an HP Envy 17-2195 Intel HD3000/amd-Radeon 6850m, Any nore help will wure be appreciated - I will try anything.

Mark
p.s. sorry I an not giving you all the details - as I am exhausted

Did you edit the 10fglrx file?
If not, get my Xsession script which does the same:

cd /etc/X11/Xsession.d/
sudo wget https://github.com/beidl/amd-indicator/raw/master/11switchable

And reboot.

Thanks Beidle for the Continued Help !!

No I din't have a clue what that 10fglrx file referred to. I will try what you just posted now and edit the results.
And please be as explicit as possible with the instructions as I am rusty w Linux as this problem has shoved me back inot Windows for the past 11 1/2 months arghhhhh. But I Do know how to cut and past commands in terminal -

and for othersw reading this here is the content of the file he uploaded "11switchable"

LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=${LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH}:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri

note: I am not surprised that I still couldnt login as I had made a minimal Xorrrg.conf file - as a desperate attempt to get it working last night. So now I have deleted eevery Xorg.conf type file which I am sure willlet me in (as it's the sudo amdconfig --initial -f; sudo amdconfig --px-dgpu) that always kills it - so I guess once I am back in - I will try ..
sudo amdconfig --initial -f; sudo amdconfig --px-igpu
in hopes that at least with the integrated card I might have a better chance (and with Beidl's script for the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10fglrx already installed) Lets hope it's a miracuous day !!
I will edit it again either way,
Cheers

OK I am about to do it I Just did the DREADED !!!!!
sudo amdconfig --initial -f
which always hoses my reboot, so before I reboot I thought i would show you the resulting Xorg.conf, that invariably screws my reboot
(note - I also will do:
sudo amdconfig --px-igpu, before I reboot - wish me Luck.)

Hi Beidl I have tried the process again from the beginning,
I have upgraded x-org, unity, and linux kernals from the PPAs
ppa:andrikos/ppa
ppa:unity-team/sru
ppaorg-edgers/ppa

but when I reboot and log in every thing seems ok except their is no unity.

brian@brian-inspiron5520:~$ unity
