Sorry.. what do you mean with this? Which is the Debian way for switching from the integrated to the discrete GPU? Executing update-alternatives manually?


If I execute aticonfig --px-dgpu or aticonfig --px-igpu I simply get:
PowerXpress error: Cannot stat '/usr/lib/fglrx/switchlibGL': No such file or directory


The Ubuntu folks have implemented a python script for this task. Just download the last package from their web and checkout it out

See:

./debian/pxpress/switchlibGL
./debian/pxpress/switchlibglx

From: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/fglrx [1]



I tried first with their script but I was not able to get it working so I ended cooking this solution based on Gentoo's suggested one.
