Can’t seem to get it to work...
After fully upgrading my system (Mint 11 to 12) still keep having error’s.
“(EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section.”
Makes no sense...
Googled it and everyone who was having that problem seemed to have dualscreens which i do not. (it’s a laptop)

Try going to http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Category:Distributions and following the installation instructions for your distribution. That site also has advice for troubleshooting common issues and/or problems.

  this is my log from what i did to install the drivers i noticed some warnings but don’t know if they matter.

  If i press ctrl-alt-F1 i can get in console when i try to startx  i get 2 errors:
  (EE) Can’t load FireGL DRM library (libfglrxdrm.so).
  (EE) No devices detected.

  Any help would be appreciated

  Nice to know, I might give yet another try on my HD 6550.
  Are you on 32 or 64 bit?

  Ty

  Also i think it's unaceptable to have some discrete cards completely unusable on Linux after months and no bios option either!!

    Hey Guys,

    Some good news. I own an HP Pavilion dv7 that has a Hybrid graphics setup with an AMD 6700M HD and Intel cards and I have just installed the recently released AMD graphics driver (12.1 - http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx) and my hybrid graphics setup is now working beautifully. Suspend/Resume, switching from low power to high performance works awesomely.

    So there seems to finally be some proper traction in the drivers for AMD hybrid setups in Linux. Finally I can get rid of Windows 7 completely and play my games in Linux :D:D:D
