Please attach dmesg (don't paste it) The mixup with HD4650 is expected, AMD rebranded HD4650 as HD5165 we don't follow such rebranding. Created attachment 44310 [details]

You will find in attachement the required files. Here is the original message without the enclosed document inside : ============================================================================ I have a Medion MD 97521 with two graphics systems : 1) Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD 0046 2) ATI radeon 5165 HD. It is what is written into the computer specification on paper and what I can check when I boot with Microsoft Windows 7. Both graphics system are working with Windows 7, so no hardware is broken. I try to use one of both with Ubuntu 10.10 2.6.35-27-generic i686. I installed the requied packages, among them : - xserver-xorg-video-intel for Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD 0046. - xserver-xorg-video-radeon for ATI radeon 5165 HD. See the result of lspci -nn in attachment. The card is identified as a 4650 instead of a 5165. When I try to use the ATI graphics system, with the xconf.org in attachment, I got the error "(EE) No devices detected". Which means that ATI graphics system is not recognized by Xorg. But it is written into the log above that : - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 is managed. - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series is managed. So it should work if the ATI 5165 HD card should be well managed / recognized. What is a bug. Today, since the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD 0046 is not managed either by the intel driver, I can only use my ATI card in low resolution with the fbdev driver. ============================================================================ You reply "The mixup with HD4650 is expected, AMD rebranded HD4650 as HD5165 we don't follow such rebranding." Should I understand that this ATI HD5165 graphics card is not supported? (In reply to comment #6) > > Should I understand that this ATI HD5165 graphics card is not supported? It is supported. The HD5165 and HD5650 are just two different marketing names. The driver handles both fine. the radeon driver isn't loading because you have fglrx installed: [ 9.691927] [fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 3663 MBytes. [ 9.692284] [fglrx] vendor: 1002 device: 9480 count: 1 [ 9.692894] [fglrx] ioport: bar 1, base 0xd000, size: 0x100 [ 9.693123] pci 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0003) [ 9.693187] pci 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 9.693354] pci 0000:01:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 9.693620] [fglrx] Kernel PAT support is enabled [ 9.698785] [fglrx] module loaded - fglrx 8.82.8 [Jan 26 2011] with 1 minors Please remove fglrx first. You are right and I am sorry. fglrx was loaded by Linux kernel as KMS but not use by Xorg. So I did : - sudo apt-get remove fglrx fglrx-amdccle fglrx-dev intel - sudo apt-get autoclean - sudo apt-get autoremove After that, my next attempt to use radeon driver gives me the same error : [ 14.183] (EE) No devices detected. [ 14.183] Fatal server error: [ 14.183] no screens found [ 14.183] Device exists - you can look at lspci.log. You say Ati 5165 HD graphic card should be managed. So there is a bug somewhere. You will find in attachment the Xorg.log and dmesg.log. Created attachment 44470 [details]

Does removing your xorg.conf help? (In reply to comment #11) > Does removing your xorg.conf help? I move /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf-sav and it works.

The required files are posted. It's using vesa rather than the radeon driver. Can you enable only the discrete card in the bios? (In reply to comment #17) > It's using vesa rather than the radeon driver. Can you enable only the > discrete card in the bios? I check boot setup and I can't choose the graphic system at boot time. By default, it is the Intel GMA Chip. Under Windows 7, there is a button on the laptop to push to switch to the ATI video card. And you can configure Windows to auto-select the ATI video card at start up of the operating system. Under Linux, I fix the choice of the graphic system with the follwing directives into the xorg.conf since the button to select graphics system is not working : Driver "radeon" BusID "PCI:01:00.0" I thought it was the right solution but it seems to be not.

There are a set of acpi methods that need to be called to switch between gpus.
