  Low graphics mode in Hybrid ATI/Intel GPU systems after fglrx upgrade/

  After installing ATI proprietary drivers for my Radeon video card,
  Unity doesn't start anymore. LightDM shows up, and I'm able to log in,
  but Unity doesn't load.

  Obs: The same occurs when installing fglrx package (if I choose it,
  instead of fglrx-updates).

   Removing the proprietary driver fixes the issue.

  This is the output of lspci -v | grep vga
  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI 
Caicos [Radeon HD 6400M/7400M Series]

  with the radeon driver the fan was really loud, the laptop was overheating 
and the battery was draining fast. Then I tried fglrx but unity wouldn't 
load(only the wallpaper and the mouse) so what I did for now is:
  Remove fglrx and use opensource radeon

  Use switcheroo (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics) to
  disable the discrete card(amd). You can add

  echo IGD > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
  echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

  right before exit 0.

  This lets the system work , with norma fan, heat and battery.

  When i run aticonfig --initial -f i get the following:

  sudo aticonfig --initial -f
  Uninitialised file found, configuring.
