Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release: 14.04

Hello,

I am using a notebook with a quadcore AMD A10 and hybrid graficcard AMD/ATI Radeon HD 8650G / AMD/ATI Sun XT Radeon HD 8670A/8670M/8690M.
After installing fglrx I generated the xorg.conf in the terminal with 'sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial' and it looked pretty good. Up to this point I was able to switch between the cards with the commands 'sudo aticonfig --px-dgpu' for the discrete card and 'sudo aticonfig --px-igpu' for the intigrated card to save power.
After rebooting I realized that I was no longer able to switch between the cards and found that the xorg.conf will be overwritten whenever I modified it and reboot the system. The new (by boot) generated xorg.conf contains not the relevant information for switing between the cards.
I attached both configuration in one file (xorg.conf.comparison). I will also provide the atisysteminfo-report.txt so far I will find the place where to attach.

Regards,
Uwe
