Since i have combination of Intel HD 3000 integreated and AMD Radeon HD 6490m discrete graphic card ony my HP ProBook 4730s system,i had a problem how to get everything works great..
After searching on net, i found couple solution to get everything works great.
1. Update system
First step is to upgrade system.
2. Installing packages , running commands and downloading additional packages
First you need to install some additional packages before installing drivers:
sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6
sudo apt-get install dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic xserver-xorg-core libgcc1
If you use 64 bit system then you should run this command:
(If there is folder /usr/lib64,then you should move his container to /usr/lib folder before running command)
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs lib32gcc1 libc6-i386
cd /usr ; sudo ln -svT lib /usr/lib64
Download this files and put them in empty folder:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu//pool/main//udev/libudev0_175-0ubuntu13_amd64.deb
http:// https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0tTaH4qTIIXdDF3NThFWUtrYlU/edit?usp=sharing
Before installation uninstall old drivers:
sudo apt-get remove fglrx*
sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-intel
After removed old drivers, install downloaded files:
sudo dpkg -i libudev*
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.21.6-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb
3. Download and install AMD ATI Drivers:
Download latest drivers from ATI webstie (I used 13.4 drivers)
Unpack drivers:
sudo sh ./amd-catalyst-XX.X-linux-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/raring[/code]
(Replace XX.X whit version you have, and 'raring' with distribution you use)
Install package:
sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb
4. Steps after installation
Run this command so you make backup of Xorg.conf file, and make new for your system:
sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
sudo aticonfig --initial -f
After initialization, select descrete graphic card and reboot system:
sudo aticonfig --px-dgpu
sudo reboot
After restart everything should work great and system will use discrete graphic card.
5. Scripts for switching graphic cards
Switch to integreated graphic card:
#!/bin/bash
# Activate integreated GPU (Power-Saving mode)
sudo aticonfig --px-igpu
sudo reboot
Switch to discrete graphic card:
#!/bin/bash
# Activate discretei GPU (High-Performance mode)
sudo aticonfig --px-dgpu
sudo reboot
I hope this tutorial will help you.
I tried this with fresh installed Linux Mint 15 MATE 64bit and ATI 13.4 drivers.
