I'm glad you found out that this problem was affecting hybrid Intel/ATI systems, I really hope it will be solved soon.
Now, imagine: a hybrid ATI/ATI system, the primary one which is legacy (HD 4200) and the secondary is newer (HD 5600). No need to say that the Intel workarounds you're all so happy with has no effect in my case. Also, the fglrx-updates workaround was the first one I tried but there was no difference. Now I have both my GPUs running at full speed like a tazmanian devil thanks to the awesome ati open drivers and switcheroo that totally disappeared (was it even there before?). Once upon a time, I filed bug #1070531 , but after years as a Launchpad user, I know that I'll be left all by myself. But I can't blame anyone: can you imagine a laptop which switches between two ati cards where the first one needs legacy drivers and an older version of X? Of course I tried turning the 4200 off in the BIOS, but it seems that the only things I'm allowed to change are language and time. You must be kidding me, HP. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068661 Title: Unity does not load after installing fglrx/fglrx-updates in ATI/Radeon + Intel GPU hybrid systems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1068661/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
