Title: Add support for AMD Kaveri graphics chipsets Status in “fglrx-installer-experimental-13” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “fglrx-pxpress” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “fglrx-installer-experimental-13” 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 Bug description: SRU request: Please accept the following packages in precise-proposed. fglrx-pxpress jockey fglrx-installer-experimental-13 [Rationale] This is the result of the HWE effort to enable AMD Kaveri GPUs, and systems with more than one AMD GPU. This will become more common now that AMD APUs can be combined with AMD GPUs. [Impact] Without this work, AMD Kaveri GPUs won't work properly and users won't be able to make use of all the AMD GPUs in their system. [Test Case] After installing the update, users should be able to boot the system as usual, with no regressions of any kind. * Systems with a single AMD card: there won't be any change except that Kaveri GPUs will be detected and will work properly. * Systems with two or more AMD GPUs: fglrx-pxpress will try to enable all the available AMD GPUs and will also detect and reconfigure X when users remove one of the cards. [Regression Potential] Low. fglrx-installer-experimental-13 is not automatically installed, and fglrx-pxpress is installed only when dealing with a multi GPU system. Furthermore the change in Jockey is minimal, and only extends what we mean by hybrid graphics, so as to make sure that fglrx-pxpress is installed also when dealing with systems with multiple AMD GPUs.
