As normal, I run:

$ chmod +x amd-driver-installer-12-2-x86.x86_64.run
$ ./amd-driver-installer-12-2-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/precise
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
copied the .debs somewhere for safekeeping.

Builds OK, installs OK.

rebooted.

when it came up,

Code:
sudo aticonfig --initial -f
then rebooted again

I added the ppa ppa:sarvatt/intel-sna

upgraded, and made sure xserver-xorg-video-intel was installed to the latest ppa version, then I rebooted again.

Code:
sudo aticonfig --initial -f
then I reboot again.

Now on the terminal

tried
Code:
sudo aticonfig --pxl
It told me I was using the AMD GPU.

To switch to the Intel gpu I entered this command in a terminal :
Code:
sudo aticonfig --px-igpu
I rebooted. as soon as the machine booted, it told me that ubuntu graphics settings wasn't configured properly. It didn't even let me revert from that window.

I then did ctr alt f1 to get to the command line.
To switch back to the AMD/ATI gpu I entered this command in a terminal :

Code:
sudo aticonfig --px-dgpu
Here is my hardware info

Questions: I'm I missing something, I'm I supposed to do aticonfig --initial before my reboots?? or after my reboots?
Code:
makezan@700Z3A:~$ sudo aticonfig --initial -f 
Warning: you are intending to clear the configuration infomation which you need to recover to High Performance mode, please reboot your machine to aviod inconsistency
I already anwered this question for myself. It makes sense. you need to swtich the drivers first before trying to initialize it.


Is there a way to quickly reboot xserver without rebooting, before it was ctrl alt del, and that service gdm restart isn't relevant because now its unity.

How can I get this to Work.
PLEASE DO INSTALL INTEL DRIVERS BEFORE COMPILING AND INSTALLING ATI DRIVERS !
Otherwise it obviously should not work.
