Isn´t using frame buffer compression likely to lower the graphics performance because of the compression overhead? I´ve got a Pavilion DV7 with some integrated Intel card that uses the i915 driver, and it´s an euphemism to say that the graphics performance is pitifully pathetic compared to the Nvidia GTX470 I´m used to ... However, this laptop also has a Radeon card built in --- only I can´t get it to work. Apparently the laptop is MUX-less, so I don´t get any output to the screen when switching to the discrete card. There are instructions on [1] how to get the Radeon card to work with the fglrx drivers. Unfortunately, an outdated version of the intel drivers seems to be required: "Regarding the xf86-video-intel package, it is important to use a version <2.16, as was fortunately noted in the forum post [5] (by bojojo2020). This is because the current version of ati-drivers, 11.12 doesn't seem to work with newer versions of xf86-video-intel. (I was initially unsuccessful with 2.17, and in my opinion, this is perhaps the only detail due to which someone would fail in getting fglrx running.)"[1] Debian Testing has version 2.17 of the xserver-xorg-video-intel package and fglrx-glx in version 11-12-1. I´ve tried the fglrx drivers; they complain about not finding a library when setting them up, and running startx only produced a segmentation fault with them. Is there any way to get the Radeon card to work in Debian Testing?
