Changing the gpu-manager to let the xorg.conf unchanged caused a freeze
of the system.
I tried the new beta driver from amd catalyst 14.4 (Beta) from the AMD
site where explicitly my two cards are listed and it works perfectly.
Both cards HD8650G (1Gb) and the internal HD8670M are working now and
the xorg.conf will not be overwritten by booting any longer.
It seems that Ubuntu 14.04 64bit is not compatible with the amd-
catalyst-13.12-linux-x86.x86_64 .
I am currently using amd-driver-installer-14.10-x86.x86_64 which is a
beta release and latest rc.

Title:
xorg.conf overwritten by booting system
Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release: 14.04
Hello,
I am using a notebook with a quadcore AMD A10 and hybrid graficcard AMD/ATI
Radeon HD 8650G / AMD/ATI Sun XT Radeon HD 8670A/8670M/8690M.
After installing fglrx I generated the xorg.conf in the terminal with 'sudo
aticonfig --adapter=all --initial' and it looked pretty good. Up to this point
I was able to switch between the cards with the commands 'sudo aticonfig
--px-dgpu' for the discrete card and 'sudo aticonfig --px-igpu' for the
intigrated card to save power.
After rebooting I realized that I was no longer able to switch between the
cards and found that the xorg.conf will be overwritten whenever I modified it
and reboot the system. The new (by boot) generated xorg.conf contains not the
relevant information for switing between the cards.
I attached both configuration in one file (xorg.conf.comparison). I will also
provide the atisysteminfo-report.txt so far I will find the place where to
attach.
Edit: I fixed the error --> "AIGLX error: failed to open
/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so, error[/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory]" but it changed
not the bug of overwriting the xorg.conf.
Regards,
Uwe
