AMD PowerXpress hybrid graphics -- Catalyst 11.5

 

Running on Kubuntu Natty 11.04, pae kernel (had some stuff that did not want to run on 64-bit so went for pae) I have: 1. not had success with installing ATI driver from repos... links wrong I think 2. managed to install Catalyst 11.5 via sudo sh ./ati...run and then sudo aticonfig --initial

I can "switch" but only by running Catalyst as root/sudo and then reboot (logout is not enough)

It is better than running via vga-switcheroo and oss drivers in that I am now able to do a rescue boot - that never worked with the oss drivers...

Can not say I am ecstatic but at least it now works. The cpu runs noteably warmer using ATI then if I use Intel. As I am not a gamer I will be setting to Intel most of the time.
