That's great. That post on Ask Ubuntu is the textbook example of how to get hybrid graphics working for most configurations.

Not able to specifically help I am afraid Mark, however the Andrikos PPA worked fine on my Sony Vaio with AMD/Intel hybrid but it may be worth checking out the new 13.1 driver AMD has just released.

I am very keen to see how quickly that can make it into the 12.10 repos actually so I can remove Andrikos one as I have conerns 12.11 beta is causing me crashes in Eye Of Gnome (open a larg image, set to 100% size and click/drag.. observe X server crash).

In order to get 3D to work on the integrated card, is it possible to remove catalyst and install intel driver from Ubuntu repos? I was thinking of something like this:

Code:

sudo apt-get purge fglrx*
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
sudo reboot

It seems that the workaround from the initial post, which suggests editing /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10fglrx, does not work. Hence one can not use Unity 3D or equivalent on the integrated GPU.

I installed the drivers for my amd radeon HD 7600m graphic card as given in the askubuntu post. When I executed the following command

Code:

sudo aticonfig --initial -f

and rebooted, I lostmy login screen. Virtual console opens up. Then I removed the drivers using

Code:

sudo apt-get remove fglrx

but it too didn't work. I get virtual console when I boot ubuntu.

You probably still have the xorg.conf file around.

Code:

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I just installed Catalyst 13.1 and I have some performance improvements on my HD 6770M. However, I also having some black-screens with mouse cursor in lightdm logging screen, which problem I workaround restarting lightdm service through another TTY::

CTRL + ALT + 1 for TTY1
then,
log in!
then:

Code:

sudo service lightdm restart

However, Im having some freezing and black screen when reboot/shutdown. Only happens after install fglrx and andrikos xserver-xorg-video-intel* drivers

Is somebody experiencing same problem when shutting down/rebooting?

Ubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.5.7.4, mesa 9.0.1 (intel updates ubuntu x-team)
