amd radeon hd 6470m driver for hp pavilion g6




Thanks for reply. This is one place when I have got some answer and suggestions. ? Post about this problem at few more forums including official Ubuntu forum.I will check your suggestion. And by the way I have tried to find solution few more times tried to find solution by my self using different instructions including one of yours -catalyst-driver-in-ubuntu-12-04-2/ for Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 13.04 as well.I have seen some statistic. Each time when I am generating xorg.conf after radeon drivers preparation I get graphic error about Intel adapter. And when I completely remove xorg.conf or choose back to default setting (make the same: remove xorg.conf) then everything works again without any changes like before. All this time I am using nomodeset for Ubuntu start up, without it getting black screen.


rc.local gets executed very late. Therefore the loud fan is obvious until very late in the boot process. In my case with vgaswitcheroo shutdown, at the time the login screen comes up, AMD gpu gets shut down. Thus I get very good result and I can play with both AMD and Intel with open source or closed source options. Since you are not getting very good results at boot, I recommend you to go with latest drivers as much as possible. For that going with some current distro would be a better idea. With latest drivers, you might as well get the option of playing with open source radeon drivers. 2ff7e9595c
