Bug description:
[Impact]
* Hybrid systems with ATI/intel GPUs using fglrx get a segmentation
fault in X when using 12.10. In stock 12.04.1 these systems were
working fine.
* This bug represents a severe regression from precise to quantal,
since is crashing on startup
* The proposed patch updates the driver to version 13.2beta3 of
upstream which seems to resolve this issue
[Test Case]
* Get an hybrid ATI/intel system.
Install quantal: The system should boot fine
Install the proprietary fglrx package and reboot: The X server crashes on startup
[Regression Potential]
* This solution does not need any change on the intel driver (as a previous workaround needed).
* No regressions have been reported so far using this most recent fglrx upstream, by the people affected by this bug
======
After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10
(fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was
present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards
(such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my
intel Core i5-2430M). The X server has a segmentation fault and the
low graphics mode is activated.
WORKAROUND: fglrx-installer-13 2:13.101~beta-0ubuntu1~xedgers~quantal1 from:
https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=quantal
WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND
As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-
video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and
2.20.3. The regression commit is
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-
intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 .
Upstream fglrx has published a new version (> 13.1 ) of the driver
which seems to solve this issue. No need to revert the commit in the
Intel driver any more.
ATTENTION:
1. If you choose the integrated GPU (via Catalyst or via amdconfig --px-igpu) and your X server crashes on startup, then your are probably affected by this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1088220
2. If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040
Subscribe and comment there please.
If the X server loads (so you see no low graphics mode window) but you get no menu bars, window decorations, etc, then press Ctrl+Shift+T to open a terminal, write in there:
unity --replace &
and post a comment with the result.

The system is a Hp g6-1279sl notebook with a discrete AMD HD 6470M card and an Intel Core i5-2430M CPU with Intel HD graphics 3000. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 desktop 64 bit version. The driver (both the 12.9 beta on AMD site and the 12-9 beta driver from the Quantal Quetzal fglrx-installer-updates repository) worked correctly on Ubuntu 12.4.1 64-bit.
Using fglrx (fglrx_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb) instead of fglrx-updates doesn't solve this problem.
