Re: AMD PowerXpress hybrid graphics -- Catalyst 11.4 pre-release testing

 

Hi Arthur,

Can you submit your acpi tables?

submit your laptop's DSDT.dsl information as an attachment to this bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752542
To compile your DSDT information, install if you haven't already the
acpidump and iasl tools:

    sudo apt-get install acpidump iasl

or

    sudo yum install pmtools iasl

Then run the following commands:

sudo acpidump > acpidump.txt && sudo acpixtract acpidump.txt && iasl
-d DSDT.dat && iasl -d SSDT.dat && ls -l ??DT.dsl

This will create the DSDT.dsl and SSDT.dsl files that you can attach
to the bug report.


Finally, for posting the information in the bug report, you can check
the laptop and graphics card model identifiers with these commands:

    sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name && sudo dmidecode -s system-version
    lspci -vnnn | perl -lne 'print if /^\d+\:.+(\[\S+\:\S+\])/' | grep VGA

This information will allow the full development of hybrid graphics
features for Linux. Thanks for your help!
