On A+A config I found although fglrx will not be disabled by gpu- manager, xorg.conf will still be regenerated, and with the regenerated xorg.conf there is no graphics switching option in amdcccle (amd control center). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1310489] Re: xorg.conf overwritten by booting system

The log attached by Po-Hsu shows that fglrx was correctly enabled on a system with hybrid graphics. @Yu Ning: that is ok. If there is no switching option in amdcccle, that is a bug in the amdcccle binary (nothing I can do about it). The gpu- manager worked correctly by enabling both AMD GPUs with

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1310489] Re: xorg.conf overwritten by booting system

Hallo Alberto, I followed your instructions, including the installation of the ubuntu-drivers-common from the proposed-archive. The result was, that the xorg.conf wasn't changed anymore after reboots. BUT the output from /var/log/gpumanager.log says: Disabled by kernel parameter nogpumanager

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1310489] Re: xorg.conf overwritten by booting system

The error that you see in the log was caused by this code: if (is_disabled_in_cmdline()) { fprintf(log_handle, Disabled by kernel parameter \%s\\n, KERN_PARAM); goto end; } That simply parses /proc/cmdline. A few more things to try: 1) Maybe what you see is an old log. Try

Hallo Alberto! Thanks a lot for your work on this bug! I have a question: Does your solution also apply when both graphic cards are from AMD? My laptop has both graphic cards, integrated and discrete, from AMD. I'm asking because you wrote: [Test Case] * Make sure to be using a hybrid

BTW I'm going to second the nogpumanager approach, because I just rebooted and even with a completely commented-out gpu-manager.conf it still ran and decided the number of cards had changed and removed my xorg.conf leaving my system unusable. Putting nogpumanager into the kernel command line via

Just a comment that I never saw gpu-manager *modify* xorg.conf -- it just renamed it to xorg.conf-DATE leaving me with no xorg.conf at all (which in my case was enough to cause major problems). Commenting out all of the lines in gpu-manager.conf seems to have stopped it from running, which solved
