Ok, so I've got the 5650 as a discrete gpu and integrated 4200. The problem is that I cant switch to 5650.
fglrxinfo shows that 4200 is on, but aticonfig -px-list shows that Discrete GPU is active.
lspci shows this:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc M880G [Mobility Radeon HD 4200] [1002:9712]
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Madison [AMD Radeon HD 5000M Series] [1002:68c1] (rev ff)
as xorg looks like this:
xorg device section:
Section "Device"
Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:1:5:0"
EndSection
I thought that if I change busid to PCI:2:0:0 it'll help, but it won't.
looks like ubuntu can't see 5650 as with PCI:2:0:0 I cant run X.
any suggestions what to do?
Also I can't disable 4200 in BIOS
Have you tried switching with vgaswitcheroo
? For more information on this topic, have a look at HybridGraphics in Ubuntu.
When it comes to owning vgaswitcheroo
, I use:
sudo chmod -R 705 /sys/kernel/debug
and
sudo chown -R $YOURUSERNAME:$YOURUSERNAME /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo
I don't use the proprietary drivers though.
