bug #873058 seems to be affecting x86_64 bit systems
I have a 32bit install of xubuntu 11.10 and the bug affects me too.
Through synaptic either the fglrx-update dependant packages can be
selected or the fglrx packages mutually exclusively. Haven't tried
through command line. Installation through jockey fails for updates
packages. It deactivates the activated fglrx driver if tried back-to-
back.
Also, for catalyst control centre with either package, aticonfig --initial must
be run from cli. This breaks the install for me.
It seems to depend on xorg.config
I have an hp Dv7 and have dual graphics cards. So, I've decided to use
the intel (powersaving) gpu exclusively. The easy workaround for that is
to NOT install fglrx, and add the line
echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
to 'rc.local' in /etc
this is only do-able using open-source radeon driver for me. fglrx takes
away vgaswitcheroo directory.
