I tested fglrx-installer-experimental-13 (2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.2) and fglrx-pxpress with and without jockey on my Dell Inspiron N4110 and they worked without problems. Thanks to PowerXpress I can use the discrete card.
I also tested nvidia-319 and nvidia-319-updates (one at a time) together with nvidia-prime (with and without jockey) on my Lenovo L480S. It all works correctly with Hybrid graphics. I haven't experienced any regressions with systems with a single GPU (e.g. my Inspiron 1122). All drivers show up and install correctly. Neither nvidia-prime nor fglrx-pxpress is installed in this case (as expected). Also, using stacks older than Raring's (lts-raring), no drivers show up on systems with hybrid graphics, as expected. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to jockey in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1198942 Title: Hybrid Graphics and general enablement for fglrx and nvidia in Precise for 12.04.3 Status in “fglrx-installer-updates” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “fglrx-pxpress” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-173-updates” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-304” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-319” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-319-updates” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-prime” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “fglrx-installer-updates” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Status in “fglrx-pxpress” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Status in “jockey” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-173-updates” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-304” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-319” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-319-updates” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Status in “nvidia-prime” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Bug description: SRU request: As per the topic, the purpose of this report is to make sure that users get graphics drivers that work with Raring's X/Kernel in Precise 12.04.3. This work also enables support for Hybrid graphics (as planned) and requires changes in Jockey in addition to the drivers. This SRU involves the following packages jockey nvidia-prime fglrx-pxpress nvidia-graphics-drivers-319 nvidia-graphics-drivers-319-updates nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates nvidia-graphics-drivers-173-updates nvidia-settings-319 nvidia-settings-319-updates nvidia-settings-304 nvidia-settings-304-updates nvidia-persistenced fglrx-installer-updates fglrx-installer-experimental-13 Only jockey, nvidia-graphics-drivers-173-updates and fglrx-installer-updates already existed in the archive, the rest is in NEW. The changes in jockey are all documented in jockey's changelog. I added tests in the test suite to make sure that we simulate hybrid graphics systems (using fake devices) and test the relevant code paths. In short, we don't provide graphics drivers on unsupported systems with hybrid graphics, thus preventing users from breaking their systems. When hybrid graphics is available and supported (i.e. there is a driver which supports it and the Raring stack is installed) not only do we provide the drivers, we also take care of installing either fglrx-pxpress or nvidia-prime, which will take care of any required configuration so that, on next boot, things will work with no user interaction. Quite an improvement compared with a certain xserver failure in case of a misconfigured or unsupported system. As for the drivers, they all work with kernels up to 3.10 and include the following features: * NVIDIA's 319 series add support for hybrid graphics, in addition to being a LTS series. They also replace any experimental driver we uploaded. * current users of nvidia-current and nvidia-current-updates will be migrated to nvidia-304 and nvidia-304-updates (same driver release, only different name). * All (obsolete) experimental nvidia drivers will be migrated to nvidia-319-updates. * fglrx-updates will be updated to the latest stable release. * fglrx-experimental-13 will replace all experimental releases and add stable support for hybrid graphics. * nvidia-persistenced is a daemon (only for the 319 series) which, by default, preserves the standard behaviour of the nvidia driver. It makes it easier for users to enable persistence mode to work around bugs in the driver (e.g. LP: #1202152) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/+bug/1198942/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
