Re: Hope for Thinkpad Edge users? BIOS Update enables graphic card switching

 

The proprietary drivers "should" work... but they don't. Vgaswitcheroo "would should" work... but it doesn't.

My cards are: ATI Radeon HD 4250 and ATI Radeon HD 5650.

If you know something about this, please, let me know. Thanks.

I have an HP pavilion dv6 3160us, and there's no option to switch to fixed mode. There's a BIOS update to do this... but for another model (http://linux-hybrid-graphics.blogspot.com/2011/07/hp-to-offer-switch-for-their-line-of-hp.html), not for mine.

I can't switch to the discrete card (ATI 5650), neither with the proprietary, nor the free drivers. Both end in a blank boot screen and segmentation fault.

Cheers.
That's odd. Muxed AMD+Radeon should be supported by recent proprietary drivers.
