|
Hello!
In my laptop I have integrated intel graphic card and radeon hd5650 graphic card.
How do I know wich card is being used?
Is it possible to disable intel card, so that X uses ati card?
I do not know if ati card is recognised by system-kernel... if I type in console lspci here is what I see:

sometimes the onboard intel is disable by a device (like using an external monitor), sometimes by bios option, sometimes you cannot. It depend on your laptop
and your ati card is seen (and the intel too)
| Code: | | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 68c1 |
try tell users your laptop model, you might get attention from someone that also own one. |
