This start to be offtopic with the bug title, because now fglrx installs with the 2.6.38 kernel, so it's possible that Alberto prefers to close it and open a new one.
Latest tries I've been done with fglrx 8.840 in a up-to-date natty with intel/Ati hybrid: #aticonfig --px-dgpu PowerXpress: Discrete GPU is selected (High-Performance mode), please restart Xserver for changes to take effect! PowerXpress: Fail to switch GLX link file, please check whether driver install correctly #aticonfig --px-igpu PowerXpress: Integrated GPU is selected (Power-Saving mode), please restart Xserver for changes to take effect! PowerXpress: Fail to switch GLX link file, please check whether driver install correctly I've seen that when trying to change cards aticonfig expects /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so to be a link By changing it to a link, and trying again, you discover the names of the linked files in each mode, and they are (supposed to be): /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/FGL.renamed.libglx.so for the original libglx.so mesa file with --px-igpu and /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/fglrx/fglrx-libglx.so for the fglrx libglx.so with --px-dgpu and copying/linking these files you can avoid the Fail in aticonfig. But X keeps complaining with: Discrete --px-dgpu: [ 6452.269] (II) fglrx(0): === [xdl_xs110_atiddxPreInit] === begin [ 6452.269] (II) fglrx(0): PowerXpress: Discrete GPU is selected.
