[Gareth McCumskey <gmccumskey@xxxxxxxxx>]

I see a thread from this mailing list discussing people trying out the new
drivers and using an aticonfig command (aticonfig --px-dgpu) to do the
switch between the two cards. However, when I install the driver aticonfig
just tells me No supported adapters connected and yet my card is listed in
the drivers docs as supported.

Is there some secret sauce I am missing getting this thing to load at all?
