Title:
xorg.conf overwritten by booting system
Status in “ubuntu-drivers-common” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release: 14.04
Hello,
I am using a notebook with a quadcore AMD A10 and hybrid graficcard AMD/ATI
Radeon HD 8650G / AMD/ATI Sun XT Radeon HD 8670A/8670M/8690M.
After installing fglrx I generated the xorg.conf in the terminal with 'sudo
aticonfig --adapter=all --initial' and it looked pretty good. Up to this point
I was able to switch between the cards with the commands 'sudo aticonfig
--px-dgpu' for the discrete card and 'sudo aticonfig --px-igpu' for the
intigrated card to save power.
After rebooting I realized that I was no longer able to switch between the
cards and found that the xorg.conf will be overwritten whenever I modified it
and reboot the system. The new (by boot) generated xorg.conf contains not the
relevant information for switing between the cards.
I attached both configuration in one file (xorg.conf.comparison). I will also
provide the atisysteminfo-report.txt so far I will find the place where to
attach.
Edit: I fixed the error --> "AIGLX error: failed to open
/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so, error[/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory]" but it changed
not the bug of overwriting the xorg.conf.
Regards,
Uwe
