One interesting thing with the modified debs from Nick Andrik: My HP ProBook 4730s has a similar muxless switching setup (Intel HD 3000 + Radeon 6470m). Booting up with the HD 3000 results in a X segfault, can't log in, can't even switch to a tty in the process. However, long-pressing the power button and turning on the laptop back again gets through without a problem. That is, until I reboot or shutdown again. Then I have to do the same thing again (let X segfault, pulling power, turning laptop on). Also, switching graphics and killing X with "sudo pkill X" works most of the time, so you can boot with the DGPU enabled, login, run the commands "aticonfig --px-igpu; sudo pkill X" and you can log in with your IGPU up and running. Before shutting down, set the DGPU again with "aticonfig --px-dgpu" and shut down. Repeat steps for happyness until a fix is released.

In Ubuntu 12.04, I installed the fglrx driver through "additional drivers" and it worked. (I can even switch GPUs). But in the new Ubuntu 12.10, after installing, Unity won't load. Only the mouse and the wallpaper. If I initialize the settings sudo aticonfig --initial then after rebooting it gives a warning saying I'm in low graphics mode! How to fix this? Even tried the drivers from AMD website (both the old 8.* and the new 9.* drivers) Earlier i used software source to install the drivers. But when using the terminal, I got this warning : - update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/lib/fglrx/ld.so.conf because link group x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf is broken Full installation log : - pubudu@lap1:~$ sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates [sudo] password for pubudu: Reading package lists...
