Hello openSuSE community
I’ve never asked for help on this forum before because I always find solutions for all problems. This time I have sort of specific problem which I couldn’t solve by myself. Hope you can help me guys 
So, I’m running openSuSE 12.3 KDE, hardware specs are:
HP Pavilion DV6-6150sl
Intel Core i5-2410m
AMD Radeon HD 6770m
Enough RAM.
I installed suse’s 1-click fglrx drivers. The thing is, I cannot switch to Intel gpu. After reboot it hangs at the “Reached target graphical interface” line. Then I enter cli by hitting alt+f2 and try to startx, then it says could not connect to X server.
So I just delete xorg.conf, run amdconfig --initial -f and then I’m able to start the x server, but it starts using AMD gpu. Any ideas why intel gpu will not start?
I also tried it on other distro. It worked on linux Mint, I was able to switch between cards. But I don’t want any other distro, I want openSuSE.
I also tried to install amd catalyst 13.4 from amd’s website. The drivers worked even worse. I wasn’t able to switch between gpus and fglrxinfo, glxinfo would give errors.
Oh, and 1 more problem.
My screen is **** tearing when using AMD gpu. It completely ignores vertical sync setting in the CCC (which is supposed to remove tearing?). It’s very annoying when watching films and moving windows around. It works fine on intel gpu (tried on linux mint).
Any help is appreciated
@eksplode
the tearing seems to imply the fglrx driver is not installed correctly
the output of cmd
lsmod | grep fglrx
will show if the module is loaded,
there should be two or three lines output with it in
if it isn’t suggest the following,
at a cli enter cmd init 3
log in as root then re-install catalyst 13.4
read the log file in /usr/share/ati/ to verify a failure free install
if no errors reported, reboot
if errors are reported, run the un-install script
then start yast and from the program manager try installing the openSUSE fglrx
package again
best of luck
lsmod | grep fglrx gives 2 lines of output, driver is loaded. fglrxinfo gives correct output too, no errors. Steam works and I’m able to play games (fps goes up to 400 on CS:S but it still looks laggy like it was like 30-40 fps). After changing the gpu to it asks me to restart the pc, so I restart it. And I have noticed that it hangs up at the line that says “Loading GLX module” or something. Intel gpu fails to load the driver, i don’t know why. I tried downloading the driver 13.4 from AMD’s website and building distro specific rpm package, the problem was identical, no difference from the suse’s 1 click driver. I’ll try installing packages for 12.2 and 12.1 suse versions, I’ve read somewhere that it might help.
@eksplode
can the following output be posted (if possible)
xrandr
it would also be interesting to see the content of files
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
/usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
the last file is too large to post here but can be placed at
SUSE Paste
and the reference posted here
cheers
nb. no posts have been read showing a sucessfull install for a
hybrid graphics install on openSUSE
Hello, sorry for late reply
The output of xrandr:

Any help is appreciated, I would really like to get those drivers to work
no similar hw is available but,
first remove the fglrx driver if the intel gpu is wanted,
- in yast, program manager search for fglrx and delete driver
and / or
- run uninstall file in /usr/share/ati/

the above should load the correct driver for the intel gpu
with the setup as given, the intel driver is being used to drive the amd card
