Hi...
I have a Laptop HP Pavalion Dv6-3031ss, it have an ATI Radeon HD
5470 and an Intel HD.... by default, when Linux start the active
card is the Intel HD, I don't know if the ATI is powered or not. I
use Kubuntu Maverick 10.10 as OS. My first problem is that to slow
and that is for the Video Card because KDE use a lot of video
features. So I need to turn off my Intel Card and work with the
ATI card....
Here are the results of my tests...

I really need a solution because I don't want to use Windows any
more... I have been using Linux since 2007 but just like a normal
user. I tried to recompile Linux kernel but it doesn't work either...
Please I need to figure out how to solve this as soon as posible...
Figure out that on the instruction iasl -d DSDT.dat I had a
Segmentation Failed....
Cheer and hopping to heard from you soon...
Luis
