@Nick: I haven't tried fglrx with xorg-edgers, only default xorg-video-intel + xorg-video-ati, as the synaptics (touchpad and some keyboard stuff too on my notebook) keeps crashing, I was too lazy to try anything more. But it boots into X, just as original repository version, so the intel+ati works at least as good as Ubuntu quantal.
BTW, after all those experiments on my kubuntu 12.10 install I suddenly got working GLX with intel+ati. (history of my OS install: 12.04 clean install - desktop works + fglrx from Ubuntu repos - 3D games works on ATI, desktop works * upgrade of distro to 12.10 -> blank screen, several hours of trying to recall all the xorg stuff and find out what works - ending with intel + ati open source drivers, desktop shows, no GLX working * trying out different things, including - Nick's PPA (intel + fglrx = blank screen, intel + ati = blank screen) - xorg-edgers (intel+ati = desktop works, no GLX) - purging xorg-edgers PPA, reverting to default Ubuntu intel+ati, where desktop works, and was "no GLX" before, now all of sudden the GLX started to work without warning. with glxinfo I now get: "... | direct rendering: Yes | server glx vendor string: SGI | server glx version string: 1.4 | ... OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 9.0 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30 ..." By the "no GLX" situations before I did mean situation, where the OS boots up into X, I can log in, desktop works, but I can't run any 3D game, usually ending with some GLX specifix error, which I didn't bother to save, but something along unsupported feature number #x IIRC. I have muxless HW (no HW switch for VGA, and when I install fglrx from Ubuntu repos, I get blank screen and log/xorg contains that weird "(EE) this is a Muxless PX A+I platform, we doesn't supported it". I didn't have yet time to look into it, if I could find the difference. Maybe I left the ATI card still switched off in BIOS, so the Intel GLX works for me now? I know it's "just one reboot" away to figure out, but right now.. not. Summary: no working fglrx for me (any tested combination ends with blank screen) intel+ati (ubuntu, xorg edgers): desktop works, now on ubuntu ones even GLX on Intel works (no idea, why/how it got fixed, maybe disabled ATI by BIOS, or reinstall of some core mesa packaged during xorg edgers ppa purge) intel+ati (nick's PPA): crash in X as mentioned in #100 (this is different crash, not similar to intel+fglrx, which does crash in other stage of loading drivers) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068404 Title: Low graphics mode in muxless hybrid ATI/Intel GPU systems after fglrx upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1068404/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
