Comment 2 for bug 910332

same problem here. thinkpad edge e425. It has switchable video cards, and i'm not sure how... i can enable one or another exclusively via the bios, but what i see on lspci is all the same.

could not install using the regular CD (why there's no text installer?).

i didn't knew about the HDMI out working. but i would rather a text installer anyway.

after installing debian-sid i have the following information:

fgrlx does not work. vesa works obviously w/out direct rendering.

catalyst driver that support that board does not support the newer X available in debian-sid at this time. i will hunt down the versions and update here... now since i will have to compile modules for pretty much all the hardware i have on this box i'm waiting for gentoo to compile some 2Gb of software... :-/
