But I have to use this commands to switch:

Code:

sudo amdconfig --px-dgpu

---

(switch to discrete)

Code:

---

amdconfig --px-igpu

---

(switch to integrated)

---

You can't switch using amdcccle? Because I can't switch with 12.6 beta. I can't believe that this problem wasn't fixed!

No, switching with amdcccle doesn't work. It's freezing my system.

This is really strange. Coz I can switch from iGPU to dGPU but I cannot switch from dGPU to iGPU... probably something easy to figure out...

I'll get some time to find this problem

First, Thanks very much for the great tutorial and you efforts here in the thread
Second , I have a laptop hp probook 4530s with amd 6490 and intel 3000 I tried this tutorial and did it all step by step
my problem is after running

---

sudo aticonfig --initial -f

---

then restart Ubuntu runs in the low graphics mode and i must reconfigure the grahpics

also

Who's having low graphics mode problem, please follow this steps:

1 - Post the following command output:

Code:

---

uname -a

---

2 - follow the post #1, AND before install fglrx .deb files, execute the following command (must be executed inside fglrx .deb directory):

Code:

---

sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb >> fglrx_install.log 2>&1

---

OBS: The command above will create a file fglrx_install.log logging all std output and error output occurred during fglrx installation.

3 - post here the fglrx_install.log file content

IMPORTANT TIP: To post something in this thread and be clear to everyone read it, use CODE /CODE declaration inside brackets.
You can also use pastebin to paste your code, output or command stuff there and just put your stuff pastebin URL here. like that:
uname -a output: http://pastebin.com/eaLcXUGV

Cheers

Guys,
sorry but there's an error in my post #107. Which, probably, will not work on 32-bits Linux. :oops:

The 32-bits dri driver path is wrong. However, now I'll post an 10fglrx fix that will work to 32 or 64 bits.

Before, make sure you have libgl1-mesa-dri installed. Without this package, you cannot have Intel direct rendering on 32 bits systems.

Code:

---

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri

---

Now, just edit /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10fglrx (with super user permission)

Code:

---

sudo gedit /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10fglrx

---

REPLACE LINE 4 with code below:

Code:

---

LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=${LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH}:/usr/lib32/fglrx/dri:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri

---

AND ADD the code below between lines 11 and 12. (before export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH)

Code:

---

if [ `uname -m` = 'i686' ] | [ `uname -m` != 'x86_64' ]; then
    LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=${LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH}:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri
fi

---

:!: VERIFY YOUR CHANGES BEFORE SAVING
Your file should looks like this:

Code:

---

LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/fglrx/dri
if [ `uname -m` = 'x86_64' ]; then
  if [ -d /usr/lib32/fglrx/dri ]; then
    LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=${LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH}:/usr/lib32/fglrx/dri:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri
    if [ ! -z $LD_LIBRARY_PATH ]; then
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
    fi
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}/usr/lib32
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  fi
fi
if [ `uname -m` = 'i686' ] | [ `uname -m` != 'x86_64' ]; then
    LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=${LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH}:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri
fi
export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH

---

:!: VERIFY YOUR CHANGES BEFORE SAVING
Verify your changes, save and enjoy Direct Rendering in 32/64 bits OSs

voila!

You can download here all .deb files from amd Catalyst 12.6 final with 10fglrx fixed (ready to install).
- This .deb files only works with 12.04 LTS Precise Ubuntu
- I've add Kernel 3.4 support in this .deb files (for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS precise)
- Fixed Intel direct rendering

Download:
for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bits: amd-12-6-fixed-Niccola-amd64.tar.gz
for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32 bits: amd-12-6-fixed-Niccola-i386.tar.gz

Instructions:
1 - Extract inside a new and empty directory

Code:

---

tar -xvf amd-12-6-fixed-Niccola.tar.gz

---

2 - Install:

Code:

---

sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb

---

3 - Run automatic configuration for xorg.conf file:

Code:

---

sudo amdconfig --initial -f

---

Reboot your machine

4 - Switch to Intel Integrated Graphic Card:

Code:

---

sudo amdconfig --px-igpu

---

reboot your machine

5 - test Intel Direct Rendering:

Code:

---

glxinfo | egrep render

---

Hi , thanks for your efforts
And here is my output:

Code:

---

Linux MohGabr-Ubuntu 3.2.0-26-generic-pae #41-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 14 16:45:14 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

---

about the other thing I removed the old packages and can't generate them again using :

Code:

---

sudo sh ./amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/precise

---

it gives me this error

Code:

---

.

dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

I will try to rebuild the packages again

I don't know what's happen with this information you give me. But in this step you probably miss some packages installation.

try it:

Code:

---

sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs dh-make dkms execstack dh-modaliases fakeroot libqtgui4 libgl1-mesa-dri

---

and after, download it to an empty directory:
amd-12-6-fixed-Niccola-i386.tar.gz

then execute following command, such that is post #357:
Instructions:
1 - Extract inside a new and empty directory

Code:

---

tar -xvf amd-12-6-fixed-Niccola.tar.gz

---

2 - Install:

Code:

---

sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb

---

3 - Run automatic configuration for xorg.conf file:

Code:

---

sudo amdconfig --initial -f

---

Reboot your machine

4 - Switch to Intel Integrated Graphic Card:

Code:

---

sudo amdconfig --px-igpu

---

reboot your machine

5 - test Intel Direct Rendering:

Code:

---

glxinfo | egrep render

---

First of all I have to say thanks. I am following this thread since a long time and it was helping me a lot to get the switchable graphics working for my Samsung.

Samsung Series 7 Chronos 700Z3A-SO2de, Intel HD 3000, AMD 6490m, HDMI Intel/AMD not tested/not tested, Mini DisplayPort Intel/AMD not testes/not tested

Nevertheless there are still issues to fix. The laptop has been under linux always a little bit hotter than under windows. I had activated the integrated graphics card. But the dedicated seems to be online thought. Today I activated the dedicated and now the used power seems to be dropped by 0.5 to 1W and the temperature of the air coming out of the laptop seems to be lower.

Does anyone made the same observation? Maybe the fglrx driver does'nt set the dedicated graphics card into a very low power mode when the integrated graphics card is chosen.

Thanks for your great efforts I think it worked now
I have downloaded your fixed packages
and here is the output :
1- The installation log file fglrx_install.log : http://pastebin.com/r8dipgCA

2-

Code:

---

$ glxinfo | egrep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 6400M Series

But the switching not working

Code:

---

$ sudo amdconfig --px-igpu
No layout section was found in the file: 'xorg.conf'.
Please run 'aticonfig --initial' first or modify your configuration file manually and run aticonfig again.
