Re: Trouble getting vga_switcheroo to work

 

Im using the amd64 Natty, and tried follow the steps in this thread: https://lists.launchpad.net/hybrid-graphics-linux/msg00657.html
But in a system ati/ati like mine (hd4250/hd5650) doesnt worked.

Someone did it work in a ati/ati system??

ps: i did the links for libs but the error its the same: "Failed to link with fglrx-glx.so"

system: DV6 - M880G (hd4250) and a hd5650
