Hi,
I used to echo OFF to switch file to turn off ATI card. But I really hope i can use ATI card in openSUSE. So, after i installed openSUSE 12.2. I tried to install ATI drivers again. No doubt, i failed again. I got a Xorg log like below:

i have a Radeon 7xxxM and an integrated Intel.
Had same problem as your, so i made some experiments. Problems arised after 12.2 installation, but i was not sure that was a problem related to 12.2.
I’ve reinstalled 12.2, and installed the fglrx driver. Everything worked fine until ad update of the Intel Video driver, that cause the segmentation fault in X.

The old driver before that update was xf86-video-driver-2.20.0, the updated driver provided by the Update repo is 2.20.3

Downgrade the driver using


zypper in -f xf86-video-intel-2.20.0-1.5.1

and reboot, X should load correctly.

Hope that help.

Now, some question for developers:

Is this issue with the Intel driver a known problem? Since the package come from Update repo, i’ll bet that many people can be affected.
Or it’s from the combination of the ati and intel with Xorg, coming out from FGLRX issue or Xorg-Server issue?
From the logs, the segmentation fault happens when the FGLRX driver detect the “secondary card” and instruct X to load drivers for it (did i understood well?).
Not pointing fingers on anyone, let’s be clear. I’t just difficult for people that get these hybrid graphics to find where the problem arise.

Also, zypper now is complaining about openSUSE-12.2-Update-Non-Oss being outdated. It’s a warning that can be ignored or is it something wrong?
This system is a fresh 12.2 install, plus FGLRX driver and updates. Nothing more.

Same problem on HP dv6:

My good sir, you are a lifesaver, thanks a lot!

Amazing, this actually works. Thanks. Downgrading, wow.

I had the same problem on my Dell Inspiron 7520 which had Intel Graphics + AMD Radeon HD 7570.
