11.10 - I have an Intel GPU and a AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5400 series GPU, multiple questions



  1. They are the supposed to be Switchable, the Hybrid Graphics page seems to be a little dated (talking about 10.10 and kernel 2.6)

  2. I'm not sure the AMD MRHD is working, how can I tell which graphics card the computer is currently using? I would prefer the AMD the Intel is supposed to be the "power saving" however most of the time my laptop is plugged in

  3. I installed the "ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver" and that installed the Catalyst Control Center, however when I open the CCC it tells me




No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly.
Please install the AMD driver appropriate for you AMD hardware, or configure using >aticonfig.





There is another proprietary drive available "ATI Fire GL" but when I try to install that it says




SystemError: E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken package




Now I found the bug page on that but should the first one be sufficient?



I thought I might as well post this for you all, not sure how much help it could be

EDIT: Just letting you all know I've been using Ubuntu on and off since 7.04, and know my way basically around it, however it has changed greatly of late
