AMD/Intel Hybrid Graphics works

[MarcoDePollo]

What do you get when you run?

dpkg --list  "fglrx*" xserver-xorg-video-intel "xserver*core" "xorg-server*"

I get

sudo dpkg --list  "fglrx*" xserver-xorg-video-intel "xserver*core" "xorg-server*"

My installation is fully opdated.

I tried with a fresh install, just to make sure some random fault wasn't causing it, but when I switch to the modified video-intel drivers, xorg consistently segfault on startup.

There are some bugs in the official versions of the packages that need to be fixed, before that you can use the packages I have prepared

That is exactly the problem, I can not use your packages. Nevermind that Xorg just dumps me at a shell-login when ever the fglrx-drivers are meant to be loaded, but simply asking X to start with your modified intel-driver consistently gives me a segfault:

[andrikos]

Why can't you use my packages?
Currently is the only way to effectively use the intel/fglrx hybrid systems

I see that you get this error:

(WW) Warning, couldn't open module fglrx
(II) UnloadModule: "fglrx"
(II) Unloading fglrx
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)

Please paste the output when you install the fglrx drivers again from my PPA (after you purge them)

All right, Post-workaround, just before the reboot.

sudo aticonfig --px-list
PowerXpress: Discrete GPU is active (High-Performance mode).

sudo aticonfig --px-dgpu
PowerXpress info: Diagnostic output from /usr/lib/fglrx/switchlibglx:
update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/lib/fglrx/ld.so.conf because link group x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf is broken
update-alternatives: warning: not replacing /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules with a link

PowerXpress: Discrete GPU is selected (High-Performance mode), please restart Xserver(s) for changes to take effect!

Just out of curiosity, are the warnings anything to be worried about?

Marco and Andrikos,

Xorg log with fglrx installed:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/1454140/

Marco I noted this in your Xorg.log
not good news.

[ 20.004] (II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[ 20.004] compiled for 1.13.0, module version = 2.20.9
[ 20.004] Module class: X.Org Video Driver
[ 20.004] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 13.0
[ 20.004] (WW) PowerXpress feature is not supported on A+I Mux platform. Please uninstall fglrx driver.
[ 20.004] (EE) this is a Muxless PX A+I platform, we doesn't supported it


Guys,

I am trying yet another re-install (147th !!!), which I doubt will work but I want to try with your last 5 posts just in case a miracle has happened.

Marco can you tell me how to put a copy of my Xorg.0.log into a hyperlink like you did so I don't waste so much space on this blog ??

and guys can you please help me troubleshoot this install with specific requests as a last attempt this month for a serious attempt at getting this working??

Thanks, Mark.

Hey all. Sony Vaio SVZ13116GXX here with external docking station.

lspci:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
16:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Whistler XT [AMD Radeon HD 6700M Series]

cannot get dock-connect monitors working.

tried newer kernel: 3.6.9-030609-generic
tried catalyst 12.10 and beta
tried separate x (no screens detected)

currently trying a separate x window w/ the radeon module loaded and running.

of note, laptop works 'out of the box' on Linux Mint w/ the ports on the laptop, 3 monitors (laptop + VGA + HDMI)

kinda wish the dock was just a port-replicator so that it would 'just work' as well.

Thoughts?

[synace]

small breakthrough...

accidently started xorg w/o backgrounding it. noticed the dock monitors light up.

switched to vt1 and xrandr -d :8

got a x cursor and monitors detected.

HDMI-1 connected (dock)
VGA-1 connected (dock)
eDP-0 connected (laptop)
VGA-0 disconnected (laptop)
HDMI-0 disconnected (laptop)
DisplayPort-0 disconnected (?)

i'm close..

Andrikos and Morkos,

I am starting yet again with a fresh install. I am going to give you a play by play of EVERYTHING I do and did, and will edit it after successive restarts - so please help me trouble shoot as I am trying soooo hard.

1/ Installed Kubuntu 12.10, and Updated it, restarted
2/ - sudo add-apt-repository ppa:andrikos/ppa
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get -y upgrade
The following packages will be upgraded:
libmtp-common libmtp-runtime libmtp9 xserver-xorg-video-intel
4 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
- sudo apt-get --reinstall install xserver-xorg-video-intel
- Setting up xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.20.9-0ubuntu2+andrik2) ...
- apparehntly successful
3/ Went in Software Manager to Lock it to current version and notieced the "dbg" file of andrikos ppa wasnt installed , si I did so
- locked both xserver-xorg-video-intel files
4/ Went to fist paget to install all pre-requisite packages
First we're going to download all the prerequisite packages :
C ode:
sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6
sudo apt-get install dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic xserver-xorg-core libgcc1
If you're using Ubuntu 64bits please run those two commands (32bits users don't have to) :
Code:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs lib32gcc1 libc6-i386
Note** I know this probably wasn't necessary but saw no harm in doing so
to make sure nothing was missing.
5/ Restarted before installing any fglrx packages to see if Andrikos ppa has stopped "X" from working as always in the past.
ACTUALLY - since it always wont restart at this point in the past, I will actually install the fglrx - FIRST - Then restrart
- sudo apt-get -y install fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates
- The following NEW packages will be installed:
fglrx-amdcccle-updates fglrx-updates lib32gcc1 libc6-i386
- all installed with no problems
6/ did "STEP 2 - Enabling, fixing the bug for direct rendering on the integrated card :" from first page
- gksu nano /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10fglrx , - for 64 bit system
7/ sudo aticonfig --initial -f
8/ Reboot
- Wish me luck (of course I will edit this with the results)
Mark
DAMMNNNNN of course it didn't work - couldn't log in as USUAL
