Hi, Thanks for feedback, it was exactly what I was thinking.
I succeed on Arch to do this (not on ubuntu for now but I didn't take a lot of time to do so...) I have another error on arch on X startup (not the "not supported hardware" so for me it's a "good news") but I'm not sure if it's related to my hybrid or not (that's why I want to test on ubuntu where my hybrid is working properly with 11.8 ATI driver version...so I'll test with exact same linux/driver version to compare and see if this solution is applicable for future driver release (before ATI decide to finally serve correctly its customers)) I'll keep you informed, BR, On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 4:58 PM, Eemil Lagerspetz <ee...@gmx.com> wrote: > Hi, > > As my bios do not allow me to disable intel chipset, I'm looking for a > > software solution.
