hi there. i am going to buy a new laptop with an intel i7 cpu and a discrete video. and as far as i understood, there is no way to find high-performance laptop without this troublesome hybrid graphic feature =(
the question is - what is more problematic, nvidia or ati card?
My laptop uses a hybrid graphics hardware.
Using the vgaswitcheroo I am able to power off either card and switch between them correctly.
The issue is that the system wakes up/resumes from suspend correctly only when using the discrete graphics, or atleast the discrete graphics must be powered on even if the display is connected to the onboard intel card.
Has anyone faced this issues?
This simple tutorial will explain how to turn off discrete card on a Ubuntu laptop with two graphic cards. Discrete graphic card takes up more energy and the processor usage. If you seldom use the discrete card, follow the steps to turn it off.
1. On Ubuntu, hit Ctrl+Alt+T to launch a terminal window.
i bought hp dv3 2360ee notebook.
it has hybrid graphic
1: intel graphics media accelerator
2: ati mobility radeon HD 4550
is it mux-less ? can i use vga_switcheroo to enable discrete card?
thanks :)
People I really need a similar solution to this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1930450
... for ATI Radeon 5xxx/intel hybrid graphic cards .. my discrete card is Ati Radeon 5650m (ubuntu 12.04, 64-bit arch.)
that post was very useful to many people I know
PLEASE

I'm about to buy myself a new notebook and I've been wondering about the whole Hybrid Graphics problem.
I've had a Dell XPS 15 with a NVIDIA Optimus Graphics Card for a while now, and I'm really not very happy with the way bumblebee and ironhide "solved" the problem.
I've looked into some AMD Radeon Graphics Cards and I haven't found many people complaining about problems with the sw
Hi all,
using an HP Probook 4530s, which incorporates hybrid Graphics (ATI 6470M+Intel Vga). Am under the impression that I managed to install the proprietary drivers from ATI, but how do I know now which VGA the o/s is using?
Hi All,
I'm new but not that new to linux. However, when it gets to build/run edit File for graphic card i usually suck.
I went to the ASUS website and they gave me a .run for the graphic driver.
I have no clue how to make this work. I'm trying to use tutorials i find but none of them works A1.
