Comment 41 for bug 709505

Hello Alberto,

Finally Worked!

Yes I'know I can broke the system, but it's a natty partition for
testing, not my main install for work. Anyway, many thanks for the advice.

I've also straced X start-up, because of the Xorg errors:

libGL symbol link files sanity check failed
(EE) fglrx(0): PowerXpress: Fail to switch libGL link files.

I've found that fglrx misses links for libGL in /usr/lib/
so I've created the following:
libGL.so -> /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so
libGL.so.1 -> /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1
libGL.so.1.2 -> /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.2

Apart from the abovementioned for libglx.so

And then tried X
with aticonfig --px-dgpu
X started perfectly (fglrxinfo gives ATI finally (!!!!!) running)
and then tried
aticonfig --px-igpu, with Intel running by fglrx (I've not checked if it
turns off the ATI for lowering the consumption)

Attached I enclosed both finally working Xorg logs

These links could be incorporated as slaves in the alternatives of
gl_conf? I guess...

Cheers and many many thanks for your work in having fglrx working
Anton
