** Description changed:

- As per the topic, this bug report is about enabling Kaveri APUs, and
- configurations where the APU is used together with a discrete card, in
- 12.04.4.
+ SRU request:
  
- This requires a small update to Jockey, a change in fglrx-pxpress and a
- new fglrx driver.
+ Please accept the following packages in precise-proposed.
+ 
+ fglrx-pxpress
+ jockey
+ fglrx-installer-experimental-13
+ 
+ [Rationale]
+ This is the result of the HWE effort to enable AMD Kaveri GPUs, and systems 
with more than one AMD GPU. This will become more common now that AMD APUs can 
be combined with AMD GPUs.
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ Without this work, AMD Kaveri GPUs won't work properly and users won't be 
able to make use of all the AMD GPUs in their system.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ After installing the update, users should be able to boot the system as 
usual, with no regressions of any kind.
+ 
+ * Systems with a single AMD card: there won't be any change except that
+ Kaveri GPUs will be detected and will work properly.
+ 
+ * Systems with two or more AMD GPUs: fglrx-pxpress will try to enable
+ all the available AMD GPUs and will also detect and reconfigure X when
+ users remove one of the cards.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Low. fglrx-installer-experimental-13 is not automatically installed, and 
fglrx-pxpress is installed only when dealing with a multi GPU system. 
Furthermore the change in Jockey is minimal, and only extends what we mean by 
hybrid graphics, so as to make sure that fglrx-pxpress is installed also when 
dealing with systems with multiple AMD GPUs.
