[ubuntu] HDMI issue with ATI Radeon HD5650 Acer 3820tg

http://ubuntuforums.org – This is my first post, so I'm not sure if I posted to the right section. I am having problems getting the HDMI to work on my laptop running 12.04 LTS. Background I got it to work for a while using the opensource radeon drivers. But seeing the the temperature was running at 80++ degrees, I decided to install fglrx drivers to see if it improved. However after I installed fglrx, it stopped working. So, I uninstall the fglrx drivers and now I'm stuck with the HDMI not working. I've tested VGA on both drivers and it seems to work fine. There is hybrid graphics on this laptop. I'm using vgaswitc (Hardware)

no audio on hdmi tv display 43 weeks 1 day ago

i been trying to set up my vizio hd tv as a monitor for my pc trough hdmi, i get video not as good as it is on windows 7 but ok i can deal with that is not that bad. my problem is that i get no audio, the sound stays in my laptop.

this is a list of things i done to try to fix this issue:

ran additional drivers app.

Hi,

I have ubuntu 12.04.2 and kde. I have fglrx 13.1 latest drivers. Sometimes I have freezes at starup, it's very annoying, and I discovered it's bug : http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691 So maybe I should remove fglrx proprietary drivers and go back to mesa open drivers.

I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my lenovo laptop and found a "chip" image on the top of the screen. It showed me to install 3 drivers

ATI/AMD Proprietary FGLRX graphics drivers (post-release updates) Broadcom STA wireless drivers ATI/AMD Proprietary FGLRX graphics drivers

When I installed 1st one, it showed me some error so, I installed 2nd one it was successful.

I have an ATI Mobility Radeon X700 (0x5652) installed on my laptop running Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal).

If I may ask, is the FGLRX drivers will work for my graphics card? I know the latter versions may not be compatible with my card, however, would the old versions of FGLRX work on 11.04?

I just wanted to control the graphics card though, rather than modifying the xorg.conf again.

Thanks :)

I've got a brand new build and an updated install of 12.04. I was having trouble with installing Radeon drivers from the 'Additional Drivers' application, so I followed the directions here: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide to download and install the drivers and Catalyst directly from AMD. Video works fine now, but I'm having no luck with audio.

I've recently upgraded to 12.04 LTS and I have an ATI Radeon HD5570. I've heard that the open source 'Radeon' driver is used by default. However, it wasn't showing anything for me. What I did was I added the 'nomodeset' option to boot up and install fglrx. But it didn't work well for me as it introduced a lot of problems (freezes/glitches).

Currently I'm running the AMD chip full time with fglrx drivers, and I get OK battery life. I would like to get another hour or two though, which I feel is quite possible by switching to the Intel HD4000 chip. In reading the forums I see that it's possible to do via EFI boot, some kernel patches, using both opensource drivers, and vgaswitcheroo.

That isn't quite ideal though.

Hi,

I've installed the FGLRX drivers using a guide from here and am able to now play quake live, yay!

Here a new fresh openSUSE 11.3 installed where everything works like a charm :) The only worry I have now is about the default free radeon drivers (r600) where they seems to be working well but clearly it's not same as my past openSUSE 11.2 with fglrx.
