I have a laptop (acer aspire 4820TG) with a graphic chipset on the intel i5 processor, and a graphic card : ati radeon HD 6550M whose does not work. If I use only ati radeon with fglrx : XFrake gives (EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section. libGL symbol link files sanity check failed If I use only ati radeon with ati (free driver): (EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0) (II) [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported. If I use both with fglrx : The screen goes black and the fan slows If I use both with ati : It works (due to intel i5) Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

Did you try to configure xorg with aticonfig --initial ?

I already tried. Same error.
In fact after reading the xorg.log fglrx is crashing :/ could you try again with the ati driver ? use XFdrake to configure it to use the ati driver add in /etc/modprobe.d/ a file name ati with options radeon modeset=1 & another file in /etc/modprobe.preload.d/ati with radeon inside. The idea is to preload the radeon module with modeset enable.
Reconfigure your card with XFdrake, then post the output of: su ldconfig -p | egrep "ati|fglrx|libGL" update-alternatives --display gl_conf

Comment 5 : with the ati driver, at boot, black screen freezes, no access possible on a shell.

I have find a solution with fglrx ! In the BIOS we need to modify Graphic mode [Discrete] in place of [Switchable]. ATI works with fglrx, but with the free ati driver I have again the same error. However, intel chipset is disabled so the power consumption is higher. It would be still nice to fix this problem.
Exactly, this issue is due to the hybrid graphic system of your laptop. Fortunately for you you can disable the Intel card from within the BIOS, but this isn't always the case. For the open source radeon driver there's a tool called vga_switcheroo to manually switch from one card to the other, and with the fglrx driver, the latest 8.50 driver is supposed to handle this too. I'm gonna try and report back.

Several bugfixes to fglrx PowerXpress switching have indeed been made in the Mageia fglrx packaging. Does this still happen?
