Hi Alberto,

I can confirm that the system is running without black screen and no boot error appears.

It is still not possible to swith between the graphic cards with the generated xorg.conf in amdcccle frontend or over terminal!

The hardware is still the same as in the intially created bug description.

I tried the following to make the system switchable:

1. Install ubuntu-drivers-common and fglrx as described in the bug-fix (incl. reboot....)
2. Renamne xorg.conf into xorg.conf.201409.07
3. Generate a new xorg.conf with 'sudo amdconfig --adapter=all --initial' (this would make the system switchable)
4. When I only log off and on again I can swith from one GPU to the other
4. Reboot
5. System overwrites xorg.conf and boots without any issues but switching from one GPU to the other is not possible

My question is, should we now distinguish between the black screen and the switch problem? In this case I would open a new bug.

Best Regards,
Uwe
