The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-video- intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3. The regression commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video- intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 . ATTENTION: If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040 Subscribe and comment there please. If the X server loads (so you see no low graphics mode window) but you get no menu bars, window decorations, etc, then press Ctrl+Shift+T to open a terminal, write in there: unity --replace and post a comment with the result.

@Timo: Thanks for including it in quantal! Before the release of raring, if no other solution is found and the problem still persists, probably we would need to apply it again. In any case, I have tried 2.20.16 and X server still crashes without the patch. @Ped: A regression would be if someone has a working system, applies my patch and his system crashes. If my patch does not work for you it's not a fix for your case, which means you have a different problem.

[Bug 1068404] Re: Low graphics mode in Hybrid ATI/Intel GPU systems after fglrx upgrade
This affects me on an HP Envy 14 (intel + AMD 5650). After installing fglrx I wasn't able to access my desktop. I purged fglrx and tried Andrikos' PPA, which didn't help. After purging everything, I was able to get LightDM up only after switching to the AMD card via vgaswitcheroo. But then logging into my account dumped me back to lightdm again. The only thing that worked was launching a Guest desktop instance. No amount of purging and downgrading could salvage my system, I had to re-install 12.10. I never installed fglrx on 12.04 so I can't say whether this is a downgrade. But the opensource radeon drivers on 12.10 seems like a downgrade because HDMI switching doesn't work for me. I'll make another partition to do more testing, so if anyone wants to see any console output/logs, let me know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068404 Title: Low graphics mode in Hybrid ATI/Intel GPU systems after fglrx upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1068404/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad it's working well for you (and that people are actually using my stuff). :) @Nick, I won't have much time to test the new fglrx packages from your PPA, I'm sorry. But by just judging the diff, it should be reflecting exactly what I've done in my Xsession script (where it's been working fine), mostly because simply specifying another DRI path for the Intel drivers should not affect fglrx in any way. Maybe in a few days I'll have some time, but school is a little more important right now, much more than dealing with breaking a working (and needed) system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068404 Title: Low graphics mode in Hybrid ATI/Intel GPU systems after fglrx upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1068404/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 1068404] Re: Low graphics mode in Hybrid ATI/Intel GPU systems after fglrx upgrade
There are actually 2-3 issues in this bug: a) There is the incompatibility between the fglrx and the intel driver. In order to get around that, the workaround for now is to patch the intel driver (reverting a commit) b) The fglrx driver did not included some paths and this prevented applications needing direct rendering from functioning Both fixes are now included in my PPA.

[Bug 1068404] Re: Low graphics mode in Hybrid ATI/Intel GPU systems after fglrx upgrade
The fix that has been merged into fglrx is still incomplete in regards to 32 bit compatibility on a 64 bit host OS. If you want to run old games like Counter Strike 1.6 on the Intel GPU, you can't. That's because of 2 reasons: 1) The path to #OTHER_ARCH# DRI libs is missing (/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri) 2) When doing: amdconfig --px-igpu cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu_GL.conf it shows that ldconfig should count in /usr/i386-linux-gnu/mesa as a valuable path for libraries, but this path does not exist. Instead, this path should be used: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/ Symlinking the wrong path to the right one by hand is a nice hack, but it's a hack. I'm a little disturbed that nobody ever noticed this mistake. Maybe I'm the only one who likes to play old games on the IGPU. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068404 Title: Low graphics mode in Hybrid ATI/Intel GPU systems after fglrx upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1068404/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Awesome, thanks! Just for reference, this is the workaround for the DRI path problem that I've done and been using for 2 months now, seems to be working fine.

Commit 96 in my branch should be enough to fix this: https://code.launchpad.net/~andrikos/ubuntu/quantal/fglrx-installer/fix-switch-to-igpu We wait for the commit to be reviewed and possibly merged.
