Hi Mario, i have a dv6 3080br, same laptop, just another processor
(phenom p920).
I installed Ubuntu 11.10 (updated all packets first) and the catalyst
11.11, and i can boot with no problems. Just the switching feature
that dont work, my 5650 nerver is up! -.-
There is a catalyst version that can start the discrete card (5650)??

Hello, everybody.
I have a HP Pavilion dv6 3160us with 4250 and 5650 ATI cards.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/lpbugreporter/+bug/752542/comments/354
Like Gareth told me, I tried last Catalyst driver version (11.11),
but it doesn't work (hang on boot). Neither 11.7, nor 11.8, nor 11.9.
I uninstall proprietary drivers and tried to use vgaswitcheroo...
the only way that I found to turn off the integrated card (4250)
was to boot in recovery mode and, there, switch to discrete.
But... when I reboot, I've only got a blank screen. Nothing else.
I could never boot with the discrete. Only in Windows 7.
What should I do to debug it? Can anybody help me?

Hey, man. Thanks for the response. I just tried 11.11 drivers... but
it's the same (some Ubuntu booting text on black background when
booting, no X). I reported here:http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=334
Cheers.
