By installing the catalyst driver with the default xserver-xorg-driver- intel I have the problem mentioned on this bug. Instead using your patch will solve the problem concerning the fglrx but if the user would like to remove the proprietary driver and restore the previous one, he needs to remove also your patch otherwise he will get low graphics mode. I was not able to login till I restored the original xserver-xorg-driver- intel.
PS: the radeon package will come with xserver-xorg-video-ati In addition I have a segmentation fault shutting down the machine if igpu is active. Please have a look below. In parallel I will update the bug http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460 because I think it is more a fglrx problem ------------[ cut here ]------------ Jan 5 20:59:37 Houston kernel: [ 20.902685] WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-3.5.0/drivers/pci/msi.c:828 pci_enable_msi_block+0x2a4/0x2b0() Jan 5 20:59:37 Houston kernel: [ 20.902686] Hardware name: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC Jan 5 20:59:37 Houston kernel: [ 20.902687] Modules linked in: fglrx(PO) amd_iommu_v2 parport_pc ppdev snd_hda_codec_hdmi rfcomm bnep snd_hda_codec_idt hp_wmi sparse_keymap binfmt_misc joydev coretemp kvm ghash_clmulni_intel aesni_intel cryptd aes_x86_64 lib80211_crypt_tkip snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec snd_hwdep snd_pcm snd_seq_midi snd_rawmidi hid_generic wmi snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq snd_timer snd_seq_device uvcvideo videobuf2_core videodev videobuf2_vmalloc videobuf2_memops usbhid mac_hid snd hid microcode wl(PO) btusb hp_accel i915 bluetooth psmouse lis3lv02d input_polldev serio_raw drm_kms_helper lp lib80211 parport drm soundcore snd_page_alloc lpc_ich mei rts_pstor(C) i2c_algo_bit video r8169 [last unloaded: amd_iommu_v2] Jan 5 20:59:37 Houston kernel: [ 20.902726] Pid: 1253, comm: Xorg Tainted: P C O 3.5.0-21-generic #32-Ubuntu Jan 5 20:59:37 Houston kernel: [ 20.902727] Call Trace: Jan 5 20:59:37 Houston kernel: [ 20.902732] [<ffffffff81051c1f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 Jan 5 20:59:37 Houston kernel: [ 20.902735] [<ffffffff81051c7a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 Jan 5 20:59:37 Houston kernel: [ 20.902737] [<ffffffff8136c5c4>] pci_enable_msi_block+0x2a4/0x2b0 Jan 5 20:59:37 Houston kernel: [ 20.902769] [<ffffffffa0bb3b63>] KCL_RequestMSI+0x13/0x20 [fglrx] Jan 5 20:59:37 Houston kernel: [ 20.902798] [<ffffffffa0bd3c8f>] IRQMGR_initialize+0x24f/0x380 [fglrx] Jan 5 20:59:37 Houston kernel: [ 20.902827] [<ffffffffa0bd39e7>] ?

In stock 12.04.1 these systems were working fine. * This bug represents a severe regression from precise to quantal, since is crashing on startup * It reverts the following upstream commit which has "hidden" some global symbols of the intel driver: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 [Test Case] * Get an hybrid ATI/intel system. Install quantal: The system should boot fine Install the proprietary fglrx package and reboot: The X server crashes on startup [Regression Potential] * Upstream has stated that reverting this patch should be safe enough for SRU (mainly Comment 7): https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56494#c6 * This patch has enabled many users to have their hybrid systems working. No reported regressions so far [Other Info] * To the best of my knowledge this patch is currently the only known way to get fglrx/intel hybrid systems to work in quantal. It has been tested by many users in the bug report and this change fixed their systems ====== After installing the latest fglrx-updates package on Ubuntu 12.10 (fglrx-updates_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64) I have the same issue that was present before AMD fixed switchable graphics on PowerXpress 4.0 cards (such as my HD 6470M coupled with the intel HD Graphics 3000 of my intel Core i5-2430M). The X server has a segmentation fault and the low graphics mode is activated. WORKAROUND: Follow carefully the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#WORKAROUND As per Nick Andrik, this is a version regression of xserver-xorg- video-intel from 2.20.2 (working and in below mentioned PPA) and 2.20.3. The regression commit is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video- intel/commit/?id=05dcc5f1699ba90fc14c50882e8d4be89bc4a4f9 . ATTENTION: If your system includes an old ATI GPU card (Radeon HD 2x00 3x00 4x00) which is not supported any more by fglrx drivers, then probably you suffer from this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040 Subscribe and comment there please. If the X server loads (so you see no low graphics mode window) but you get no menu bars, window decorations, etc, then press Ctrl+Shift+T to open a terminal, write in there: unity --replace & and post a comment with the result.

The system is a Hp g6-1279sl notebook with a discrete AMD HD 6470M card and an Intel Core i5-2430M CPU with Intel HD graphics 3000. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 desktop 64 bit version. The driver (both the 12.9 beta on AMD site and the 12-9 beta driver from the Quantal Quetzal fglrx-installer-updates repository) worked correctly on Ubuntu 12.4.1 64-bit. Using fglrx (fglrx_9.000-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb) instead of fglrx-updates doesn't solve this problem.
