[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#762132: fglrx-driver: Update to 1:14.6~ga14.201-1 amd64: Mouse cursor gone

[J Barkanič]

I believe this has something to do with the way AMD switchable graphics and
X interact, and changes (fixes?) in the new driver.

I have a Samsung Chronos 7 with AMD Radeon HD 7400M Series

I resolved it by doing 'aticonfig --px-igpu'  in conjunction with
using the fglrx
device for my screen section in xorg.conf.

I tried the other permutations, but there's either no acceleration, or no
mouse:

intel device in screen :  aticonfig --px-dgpu  [Mouse: yes   Acceleration:
no]
intel device in screen :  aticonfig --px-igpu   [Mouse: yes   Acceleration:
no]
fglrx device in screen :  aticonfig --px-dgpu  [Mouse: no     Acceleration:
yes]
fglrx device in screen :  aticonfig --px-igpu   [Mouse: yes   Acceleration:
yes]  !!
