for those with amd/intel hybrid..... 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. Now I have a quite and cool laptop with good battery life. Intel is actually working really good...At least until fglrx and unity decide to get along... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069199 Title: 1002:682f Unity does not start after installing fglrx-updates Radeon HD 7700M Series To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fglrx/+bug/1069199/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
