Hi, man. I know this project for some months, but I didn't have time to
participate in it.

I have a HP dv6 3160us, with two ATI cards: 4250 and 5650 (not
ATI/intel). I was reading the blog a bit, and I didn't find this kind of
hybrid card.

I've been using Catalyst 11.7 and kernel 2.6.38-11-generic (Ubuntu
11.4), only using the 4250, because this is the best way to work. I
tried 11.8 and 11.9, but had differents and non-functionals results with
switching:

11.8: it seemed that can switch between cards, but with the supposed
discrete, full-screen 3d application (Blender) was impossible to work
with (I think that never boot with 5650, but 4250 thinking it was the
5650). With 4250, it had flickering and visual noise problems.
Impossible to use it.

11.9: Only 4250 with the same visual problems.

This computer has no option in BIOS to turn off the "basic" card.

Could you tell me if someone of the team has a similar or the same
computer as mine? Could you guide me to test the switching?

Thank you very much.
