I'm using a HP Pavilion G62 that switches between two ATI cards: a HD 4200 and a HD 5400. After upgrading from Precise to Quantal, the resolution is very low, no compositing is available, Unity fails to load, no window decorations are present and I just get the cursor, a wallpaper and desktop icons (same as bug #1068661 ).
Many people are experiencing (almost) the same issues with HD 6xxx and HD 7xxx branches too.
My bug report could end here, however, I'm adding more information just for completeness:
I thought that since the Radeon HD 4xxx branch is now legacy (unsupported) I had to install fglrx-legacy drivers from ppa:makson96/fglrx (even if my secondary card is supported) which also downgrades the X server, but it didn't work: I just got a black screen and Xorg segmentation faults, no matter which xorg.conf is used (I tried with Quantal's default and 'amdconfig --initial -f').
I'm using the open source ati drivers now, which suffer from overheating. I can't get more that 30 minutes of uptime.
I also have the feeling that my system can't switch between the two VGA cards (as in bug #1021024 ). That could explain the overheating that I'm experiencing since forever (though with the open source ati drivers it's gotten even worse, as I said before) or why fglrx is failing to detect my cards / load properly. As you can see, switcheroo is enabled:
$ grep -i switcheroo /boot/config-3.5.0-18-generic
CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO=y
but I haven't got any /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo .
Please, just tell me if you need more information.

Many people are experiencing (almost) the same issues with HD 6xxx and HD 7xxx branches too.
My bug report could end here, however, I'm adding more information just for completeness:
I thought that since the Radeon HD 4xxx branch is now legacy (unsupported) I had to install fglrx-legacy drivers from ppa:makson96/fglrx (even if my secondary card is supported) which also downgrades the X server, but it didn't work: I just got a black screen and Xorg segmentation faults, no matter which xorg.conf is used (I tried with Quantal's default and 'amdconfig --initial -f').
I'm using the open source ati drivers now, which suffer from overheating. I can't get more that 30 minutes of uptime.
I also have the feeling that my system can't switch between the two VGA cards (as in bug #1021024 ). That could explain the overheating that I'm experiencing since forever (though with the open source ati drivers it's gotten even worse, as I said before) or why fglrx is failing to detect my cards / load properly. As you can see, switcheroo is enabled:
$ grep -i switcheroo /boot/config-3.5.0-18-generic
CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO=y
but I haven't got any /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo .
Please, just tell me if you need more information.

description |
I'm using a HP Pavilion G62 that switches between two ATI cards: a HD 4200 and a HD 5400. After upgrading from Precise to Quantal, the resolution is very low, no compositing is available, Unity fails to load, no window decorations are present and I just get the cursor, a wallpaper and desktop icons.
I thought that since the Radeon HD 4xxx branch is now under the new driver support model, I had to install fglrx-legacy drivers from ppa:makson96/fglrx (even if my secondary card is in the original driver support model) which also downgrades the X server, but it didn't work: I just got a black screen and Xorg segmentation faults, no matter which xorg.conf is used (I tried with Quantal's default and 'amdconfig --initial -f').
I'm using the open source ati drivers now, which suffer from overheating. I can't get more that 30 minutes of uptime.
I also have the feeling that my system can't switch between the two VGA cards (as in bug #1021024 ). That could explain the overheating that I'm experiencing since forever (though with the open source ati drivers it's gotten even worse, as I said before) or why fglrx is failing to detect my cards / load properly. As you can see, switcheroo is enabled:
grep -i switcheroo /boot/config-3.5.0-18-generic
CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO=y
but I haven't got any /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo .
