The system is a Hp g6-1279sl notebook with a discrete AMD HD 6470M card and an Intel Core i5-2430M CPU with Intel HD graphics 3000. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 desktop 64 bit version. The driver (both the 12.9 beta on AMD site and the 12-9 beta driver from the Quantal Quetzal fglrx-installer-updates repository) worked correctly on Ubuntu 12.4.1 64-bit. After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10 (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my intel Core i5-2430M).

Using fglrx (fglrx_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb) instead of fglrx-updates doesn't solve this problem. --- .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu12 Architecture: amd64 CasperVersion: 1.315 CompizPlugins: [core,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,vpswitch,snap,mousepoll,resize,place,move,wall,grid,regex,imgpng,session,gnomecompat,animation,fade,unitymtgrabhandles,workarounds,scale,expo,ezoom,unityshell] CompositorRunning: compiz DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: precise DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard:  Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])    Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:1670]  Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Seymour [Radeon HD 6400M Series] [1002:6760] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])    Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:1670] LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120823.1) MachineType: Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC Package: fglrx-installer (not installed) ProcEnviron:  TERM=xterm  PATH=(custom, no user)  LANG=en_US.UTF-8  SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: bootkbd=it console-setup/layoutcode=it console-setup/variantcode=nodeadkeys locale=it_IT noprompt cdrom-detect/try-usb=true file=/cdrom/preseed/username.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.lz splash -- maybe-ubiquity ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-29.46-generic 3.2.24 Tags: precise running-unity ubuntu referred-by-support compiz-0.9 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-29-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo dmi.bios.date: 03/22/2012 dmi.bios.vendor: Insyde dmi.bios.version: F.63 dmi.board.asset.tag: Base Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: 1670 dmi.board.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.board.version: 09.4B dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnInsyde:bvrF.63:bd03/22/2012:svnHewlett-Packard:pnHPPaviliong6NotebookPC:pvr0691120000204610000620100:rvnHewlett-Packard:rn1670:rvr09.4B:cvnHewlett-Packard:ct10:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.name: HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC dmi.product.version: 0691120000204610000620100 dmi.sys.vendor: Hewlett-Packard version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1.4 version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.32-1ubuntu1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 8.0.3+8.0.2-0ubuntu3.2 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 8.0.3+8.0.2-0ubuntu3.2 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10.7 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.7.0-0ubuntu1.2 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629-0ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4.1 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20111201+b5534a1-1build2 After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10 (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my intel Core i5-2430M).

2012-11-06 20:10:30 penalvch description After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10 (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my intel Core i5-2430M). The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3. The regression commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 .

2012-12-07 16:55:26 Nick Andrik summary 1002:6760 Switchable graphics on Radeon HD 6400M not working again Hybrid ATI/Intel GPU systems do not work after fglrx upgrade
2012-12-07 17:02:48 Nick Andrik description After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10 (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my intel Core i5-2430M). The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3. The regression commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 .

The system is a Hp g6-1279sl notebook with a discrete AMD HD 6470M card and an Intel Core i5-2430M CPU with Intel HD graphics 3000. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 desktop 64 bit version. The driver (both the 12.9 beta on AMD site and the 12-9 beta driver from the Quantal Quetzal fglrx-installer-updates repository) worked correctly on Ubuntu 12.4.1 64-bit. Using fglrx (fglrx_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb) instead of fglrx-updates doesn't solve this problem.

2012-12-07 17:04:35 Nick Andrik fglrx-installer-updates (Ubuntu): assignee Nick Andrik (andrikos)
2012-12-07 17:05:02 Nick Andrik description After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10 (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my intel Core i5-2430M). The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3. The regression commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 . WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040 Subscribe and comment there please.

2012-12-07 17:14:08 Nick Andrik summary Hybrid ATI/Intel GPU systems do not work after fglrx upgrade Low graphics mode in Hybrid ATI/Intel GPU systems after fglrx upgrade
2012-12-07 17:15:49 Nick Andrik description After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10 (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my intel Core i5-2430M). The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3. The regression commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 . WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040 Subscribe and comment there please.

The system is a Hp g6-1279sl notebook with a discrete AMD HD 6470M card and an Intel Core i5-2430M CPU with Intel HD graphics 3000. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 desktop 64 bit version. The driver (both the 12.9 beta on AMD site and the 12-9 beta driver from the Quantal Quetzal fglrx-installer-updates repository) worked correctly on Ubuntu 12.4.1 64-bit. Using fglrx (fglrx_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb) instead of fglrx-updates doesn't solve this problem.

2012-12-07 17:26:12 Nick Andrik description After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10 (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my intel Core i5-2430M). The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3. The regression commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 . ATTENTION: If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040 Subscribe and comment there please.

The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3. The regression commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 . ATTENTION: If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040 Subscribe and comment there please. If the X server loads (so you see no low graphics mode window) but you get no menu bars, window decorations, etc, then press Ctrl+Shift+T to open a terminal, write in there: compiz --replace & and post a comment with the result.

2012-12-09 14:27:28 Nick Andrik description After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10 (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my intel Core i5-2430M). The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3. The regression commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 . ATTENTION: If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040 Subscribe and comment there please. If the X server loads (so you see no low graphics mode window) but you get no menu bars, window decorations, etc, then press Ctrl+Shift+T to open a terminal, write in there: compiz --replace & and post a comment with the result.

The system is a Hp g6-1279sl notebook with a discrete AMD HD 6470M card and an Intel Core i5-2430M CPU with Intel HD graphics 3000. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 desktop 64 bit version. The driver (both the 12.9 beta on AMD site and the 12-9 beta driver from the Quantal Quetzal fglrx-installer-updates repository) worked correctly on Ubuntu 12.4.1 64-bit. Using fglrx (fglrx_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb) instead of fglrx-updates doesn't solve this problem.

2013-01-04 09:33:48 Dimitri John Ledkov description After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10 (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my intel Core i5-2430M). The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3. The regression commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 . ATTENTION: If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040 Subscribe and comment there please. If the X server loads (so you see no low graphics mode window) but you get no menu bars, window decorations, etc, then press Ctrl+Shift+T to open a terminal, write in there: unity --replace & and post a comment with the result.

Install quantal: The system should boot fine Install the proprietary fglrx package and reboot: The X server crashes on startup [Regression Potential] * Upstream has stated that reverting this patch should be safe enough for SRU (mainly Comment 7): https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56494#c6 * This patch has enabled many users to have their hybrid systems working. No reported regressions so far [Other Info] * To the best of my knowledge this patch is currently the only known way to get fglrx/intel hybrid systems to work in quantal. It has been tested by many users in the bug report and this change fixed their systems ====== After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10 (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my intel Core i5-2430M). The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3. The regression commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 . ATTENTION: If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040 Subscribe and comment there please. If the X server loads (so you see no low graphics mode window) but you get no menu bars, window decorations, etc, then press Ctrl+Shift+T to open a terminal, write in there: unity --replace & and post a comment with the result.

2013-01-06 02:47:44 Nick Andrik description [Impact] * Hybrid systems with ATI/intel GPUs using fglrx get a segmentation fault in X when using 12.10. In stock 12.04.1 these systems were working fine. * This bug represents a severe regression from precise to quantal, since is crashing on startup * It reverts the following upstream commit which has "hidden" some global symbols of the intel driver: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 [Test Case] * Get an hybrid ATI/intel system. Install quantal: The system should boot fine Install the proprietary fglrx package and reboot: The X server crashes on startup [Regression Potential] * Upstream has stated that reverting this patch should be safe enough for SRU (mainly Comment 7): https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56494#c6 * This patch has enabled many users to have their hybrid systems working. No reported regressions so far [Other Info] * To the best of my knowledge this patch is currently the only known way to get fglrx/intel hybrid systems to work in quantal. It has been tested by many users in the bug report and this change fixed their systems ====== After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10 (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my intel Core i5-2430M). The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3. The regression commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 . ATTENTION: If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040 Subscribe and comment there please. If the X server loads (so you see no low graphics mode window) but you get no menu bars, window decorations, etc, then press Ctrl+Shift+T to open a terminal, write in there: unity --replace & and post a comment with the result.

If you choose the integrated GPU (via Catalyst or via amdconfig --px-igpu) and your X server crashes on startup, then your are probably affected by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1088220 2. If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040 Subscribe and comment there please. If the X server loads (so you see no low graphics mode window) but you get no menu bars, window decorations, etc, then press Ctrl+Shift+T to open a terminal, write in there: unity --replace & and post a comment with the result.

The system is a Hp g6-1279sl notebook with a discrete AMD HD 6470M card and an Intel Core i5-2430M CPU with Intel HD graphics 3000. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 desktop 64 bit version. The driver (both the 12.9 beta on AMD site and the 12-9 beta driver from the Quantal Quetzal fglrx-installer-updates repository) worked correctly on Ubuntu 12.4.1 64-bit. Using fglrx (fglrx_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb) instead of fglrx-updates doesn't solve this problem.

In stock 12.04.1 these systems were working fine.  * This bug represents a severe regression from precise to quantal, since is crashing on startup  * The proposed patch reverts the following upstream commit which has "hidden" some global symbols of the intel driver: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 [Test Case]  * Get an hybrid ATI/intel system.    Install quantal: The system should boot fine    Install the proprietary fglrx package and reboot: The X server crashes on startup [Regression Potential]  * Although upstream has stated that reverting this patch should be safe enough (mainly Comment 7): https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56494#c6 it seems that it can cause X server to crash if radeon/intel system is used (without fglrx). This is a regression for the default configuration so the proposed patch is not suitable for SRU ====== After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10 (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my intel Core i5-2430M). The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3.

The system is a Hp g6-1279sl notebook with a discrete AMD HD 6470M card and an Intel Core i5-2430M CPU with Intel HD graphics 3000. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 desktop 64 bit version. The driver (both the 12.9 beta on AMD site and the 12-9 beta driver from the Quantal Quetzal fglrx-installer-updates repository) worked correctly on Ubuntu 12.4.1 64-bit. Using fglrx (fglrx_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb) instead of fglrx-updates doesn't solve this problem.

2013-02-18 03:49:23 Nick Andrik description [Impact]  * Hybrid systems with ATI/intel GPUs using fglrx get a segmentation fault in X when using 12.10. In stock 12.04.1 these systems were working fine.  * This bug represents a severe regression from precise to quantal, since is crashing on startup  * The proposed patch reverts the following upstream commit which has "hidden" some global symbols of the intel driver: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 [Test Case]  * Get an hybrid ATI/intel system.    Install quantal: The system should boot fine    Install the proprietary fglrx package and reboot: The X server crashes on startup [Regression Potential]  * Although upstream has stated that reverting this patch should be safe enough (mainly Comment 7): https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56494#c6 it seems that it can cause X server to crash if radeon/intel system is used (without fglrx). This is a regression for the default configuration so the proposed patch is not suitable for SRU ====== After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10 (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my intel Core i5-2430M). The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3. The regression commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 . ATTENTION: 1. If you choose the integrated GPU (via Catalyst or via amdconfig --px-igpu) and your X server crashes on startup, then your are probably affected by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1088220 2. If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040 Subscribe and comment there please. If the X server loads (so you see no low graphics mode window) but you get no menu bars, window decorations, etc, then press Ctrl+Shift+T to open a terminal, write in there: unity --replace & and post a comment with the result.

The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3. The regression commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 . Upstream fglrx has published a new version (> 13.1 ) of the driver which seems to solve this issue. No need to revert the commit in the Intel driver any more. ATTENTION: 1. If you choose the integrated GPU (via Catalyst or via amdconfig --px-igpu) and your X server crashes on startup, then your are probably affected by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1088220 2. If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040 Subscribe and comment there please. If the X server loads (so you see no low graphics mode window) but you get no menu bars, window decorations, etc, then press Ctrl+Shift+T to open a terminal, write in there: unity --replace & and post a comment with the result.

2013-02-18 03:49:47 Nick Andrik description [Impact]  * Hybrid systems with ATI/intel GPUs using fglrx get a segmentation fault in X when using 12.10. In stock 12.04.1 these systems were working fine.  * This bug represents a severe regression from precise to quantal, since is crashing on startup  * The proposed patch updates the driver to version 13.2beta3 of upstream which seems to resolve this issue [Test Case]  * Get an hybrid ATI/intel system.    Install quantal: The system should boot fine    Install the proprietary fglrx package and reboot: The X server crashes on startup [Regression Potential]  * This solution does not need any change on the intel driver (as a previous workaround needed). * No regressions have been reported so far using this most recent fglrx upstream, from the people affected by this bug ====== After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10 (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my intel Core i5-2430M). The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3. The regression commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 . Upstream fglrx has published a new version (> 13.1 ) of the driver which seems to solve this issue. No need to revert the commit in the Intel driver any more. ATTENTION: 1. If you choose the integrated GPU (via Catalyst or via amdconfig --px-igpu) and your X server crashes on startup, then your are probably affected by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1088220 2. If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040 Subscribe and comment there please. If the X server loads (so you see no low graphics mode window) but you get no menu bars, window decorations, etc, then press Ctrl+Shift+T to open a terminal, write in there: unity --replace & and post a comment with the result.

In stock 12.04.1 these systems were working fine.  * This bug represents a severe regression from precise to quantal, since is crashing on startup  * The proposed patch updates the driver to version 13.2beta3 of upstream which seems to resolve this issue [Test Case]  * Get an hybrid ATI/intel system.    Install quantal: The system should boot fine    Install the proprietary fglrx package and reboot: The X server crashes on startup [Regression Potential]  * This solution does not need any change on the intel driver (as a previous workaround needed).  * No regressions have been reported so far using this most recent fglrx upstream, by the people affected by this bug ====== After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10 (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my intel Core i5-2430M). The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3. The regression commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 . Upstream fglrx has published a new version (> 13.1 ) of the driver which seems to solve this issue. No need to revert the commit in the Intel driver any more. ATTENTION: 1. If you choose the integrated GPU (via Catalyst or via amdconfig --px-igpu) and your X server crashes on startup, then your are probably affected by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1088220 2. If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040 Subscribe and comment there please. If the X server loads (so you see no low graphics mode window) but you get no menu bars, window decorations, etc, then press Ctrl+Shift+T to open a terminal, write in there: unity --replace & and post a comment with the result.

2013-05-30 11:14:30 penalvch description [Impact]  * Hybrid systems with ATI/intel GPUs using fglrx get a segmentation fault in X when using 12.10. In stock 12.04.1 these systems were working fine.  * This bug represents a severe regression from precise to quantal, since is crashing on startup  * The proposed patch updates the driver to version 13.2beta3 of upstream which seems to resolve this issue [Test Case]  * Get an hybrid ATI/intel system.    Install quantal: The system should boot fine    Install the proprietary fglrx package and reboot: The X server crashes on startup [Regression Potential]  * This solution does not need any change on the intel driver (as a previous workaround needed).  * No regressions have been reported so far using this most recent fglrx upstream, by the people affected by this bug ====== After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10 (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my intel Core i5-2430M). The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3. The regression commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 . Upstream fglrx has published a new version (> 13.1 ) of the driver which seems to solve this issue. No need to revert the commit in the Intel driver any more. ATTENTION: 1. If you choose the integrated GPU (via Catalyst or via amdconfig --px-igpu) and your X server crashes on startup, then your are probably affected by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1088220 2. If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040 Subscribe and comment there please. If the X server loads (so you see no low graphics mode window) but you get no menu bars, window decorations, etc, then press Ctrl+Shift+T to open a terminal, write in there: unity --replace & and post a comment with the result.

The system is a Hp g6-1279sl notebook with a discrete AMD HD 6470M card and an Intel Core i5-2430M CPU with Intel HD graphics 3000. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 desktop 64 bit version. The driver (both the 12.9 beta on AMD site and the 12-9 beta driver from the Quantal Quetzal fglrx-installer-updates repository) worked correctly on Ubuntu 12.4.1 64-bit. Using fglrx (fglrx_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb) instead of fglrx-updates doesn't solve this problem.
