HP CQ42 403ax (AMD P320 + AMD Ati 6370) bang for the buck!

I have this model for a few days and bought for a low price in the Philippines.
Thanks!

Bumping this!
My laptop is not yet one year old and yet AMD has stopped supporting its discrete graphics of hd4200 now on legacy. Video graphics driver sucks big time. This laptop needs to be able to disable one of its two graphics card (the other hd6300) in its bios or it would be a really bad laptop.

    You need to contact AMD directly to advise them of the problem.  AMD has sole responsibility for the publication of the hardware drivers for their products.  Microsoft does not write hardware drivers for any third party hardware.  Drivers
    supplied by Windows update are supplied by the original publisher to Microsoft who in turn distributes the drivers via Windows Update.
    So, it is your responsibility to report the problem directly to AMD for the ultimate resolution.

  • AMD or INTEL i7 for ESXi 5.1/5.5 Home Lab?

    Which processor is better for a VCP 5 home lab?
      I now have the money to start building my VMware home lab and wanted to get some opinions on which processor to purchase.  I've been thinking of using the AMD processor for the following reasons.
    1.  Cost is lower
    2.  AMD provides 8 cores at a price compared to 4 cores on an Intel processor
      No matter which processor I use research tells me having as much memory as I can afford is primary.  I've allotted funds for 32GB of memory for my lab and expect to purchase the hardware and start building soon.  Maybe build one of each to compare for myself?
      One question that someone might ask me is what do I plan on using my lab for and the answer to that is extensive.  My plan is to build two machines with a shared storage array and to prepare for the VCP 5.x certification.
      I have a background as a Windows NT/2000 System Admin and over 10 years as a Network Engineer.  In addition to creating a Private Cloud at home I'll use my lab to get certified in the latest Server Admin for MCSE, VOIP and more.
      In the past I've always purchased the hardware to accomplish what VMware will at a fraction of the cost.

    Either processor will work fine but since you can get more bang for your buck with AMD I would go AMD - also to ensure a smooth construction of your lab make sure the all components are on the HCL -

  • AMD/ATI driver problems on a Dell laptop with attached dual monitors

    I have a Dell Precision M4800 laptop with a docking station for two additional monitors. I'm shooting for a "big desktop" setup, with my laptop display and the two external monitors forming one large multi-monitor X screen.
    When deciding which video driver I'd need, I did the usual:
    $ lspci | grep VGA
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Venus XT [Radeon HD 8800M Series]
    Which is weird, because the M4800 isn't shipped with 8800M cards. Rather, it's shipped with the AMD FirePro M5100 Mobility Pro (see above link) (also, too many "Pros", AMD...).
    I tried the open-source driver, but I couldn't get both my external monitors working in tandem, so I went with catalyst-test, since the non-beta version of the proprietary driver doesn't support the 3.13 kernel (or my alleged 8800M series card, for what it's worth).
    My display setup using catalyst-test is still far from ideal. My dual (horizontally adjacent) monitors reset to cloned/mirrored desktops after every reboot, and my machine refuses to show three monitors (dual monitors + laptop display), even with the 2GB of dedicated RAM in my graphics card (see above M4800 link). There's other miscellaneous annoyances as well.
    Using hardinfo, I see that my VGA driver thinks it only has 256MB of RAM... which doesn't align with the M4800 specs. Is there a way to change this value?
    Just today, I found the catalyst-firepro driver, which I think might be the correct driver for my laptop, at least given the specs on the M4800 from the website.
    There's also the option of not using my AMD card at all, and just using the Intel graphics on my laptop. (I had to disable hybrid graphics in my BIOS to get any AMD-specific drivers to work). I'd like to steer away from this, due to the performance loss, but I'd be willing to make the change if the pros outweighed the cons.
    As I see it, I have a few options:
    AMD/ATI open source driver: Can't seem to get two monitors working, much less three...
    catalyst-test: Any two monitors will work together, but not three. Other annoyances.
    catalyst-firepro: Have not tested yet.
    Intel open-source driver with AMD card disabled: Have not tested yet.
    Can anyone who has had similar issues and/or hardware offer a best course of action which has worked for them? I know we're supposed to avoid "opinion" questions, but I think this is grounded enough in the scientific method to merit some helpful responses.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The last option to me is screaming catalyst-pxp at me, because that's one of the few options if you have integrated graphics and a discrete graphics card.
    Let me get this straight: Can you disable the either or both of the Intel/AMD graphics in the BIOS settings? If so, but don't want to disable either, you might want to look at the hybrid graphics section of the wiki.
    I know about powerXpress and I think I'd like to avoid it. My experience with hybrid graphics on other Linux distributions is that it's rather unstable or just plain unsupported. If someone can convince me otherwise, given their experience with hybrid graphics on Arch/Linux, I might reconsider.
    I'm fairly certain I can enable either of my GPU's separately, but I'll have to check for sure next I reboot my PC.
    The last option I mentioned because I thought the Intel drivers might be more robust than the AMD drivers, which have don't have a sterling reputation when it comes to supporting Linux (compared to nVidia anyways, who I know in the past have had good Linux support).

  • Amd/ati video drive

    Question.. i'm having a problem with my AMD/ATI VIDEO DRIVE.. It has been suggested to uninstall the program.. will my laptop run properly or how do i resolve this issue.. i no longer have a warranty it is almost 4 years old...

    Your graphics card(and most hardware) requires drivers to run efficiently. If you do not have proper drivers installed your graphics card may run at full performance and overheat. The best thing to do is go to the AMD website and download the latest drivers for your graphics card.  
    Btw what problem are you facing?

  • Issue with AMD/ATI 11-3 driver and Photoshop on Windows.

    The latest AMD/ATI drivers for Radeon HD cards (4xxx, 5xxx, and 6xxx series), 11-3, breaks Normal and Advanced OpenGL modes in Photoshop on Windows.
    Note that this does not occur with 11-1 or 11-2 drivers on the same system. We recommend you stick with 11-1 or 11-2 until this problem is addressed.
    We're working with AMD on the issue and there should be a driver update very soon.

  • Arch linux doesn't boot after installing AMD ATI Catalyst

    I have a laptop which has a integrated graphic card intel 4th generation (4600) and an AMD ATI R9 m265x (hybrid Intel/AMD graphics card) so I have just installed AMD ATI Catalyst proprietary ones by following
    AMD Catalyst ArchWiki.
    I have used "Installing from the unofficial repository" method so in my pacman.conf I have added below entry for [catalyst-stable]:
    [catalyst-stable]
    Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/catalyst/$arch
    ## Mirrors, if the primary server does not work or is too slow:
    #Server = http://70.239.162.206/catalyst-mirror/repo/catalyst/$arch
    #Server = http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/archlinux-catalyst/repo/catalyst/$arch
    #Server = http://mirror.hactar.bz/Vi0L0/catalyst/$arch
    Then I have update pacman's database and install below packages:
    catalyst-hook
    catalyst-utils-pxp
    lib32-catalyst-utils-pxp
    (No need to install catalyst-total-pxp as I have installed catalyst-utils-pxp)
    After installing it, I have configured the driver, configuring X using below command:
    # aticonfig --initial
    In order to use PowerXpress support I have installed catalyst-utils-pxp package plus additional lib32-catalyst-utils-pxp.
    To perform a switch into Intel's IGP I have also installed the mesa-libgl  package and Intel's drivers: xf86-video-intel  and intel-dri .
    I have enable the automatic update by enabling the catalyst-hook.service with below commands since it automatically rebuilds the fglrx modules while the system shuts down or reboots (so I haven't to do it manually each time kernel is updated using Catalyst-generator):
    # systemctl enable catalyst-hook
    # systemctl start catalyst-hook
    And finally I have blacklisted radeon module by creating "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklisted.conf" file which content is:
    blacklist radeon
    and also I have ensured that fglrx line is added in "/etc/modules-load.d/Catalyst.conf" file.
    To avoid problems, I have rebuilt the fglrx module by doing (I know it is not necessary as it is done by catalyst-hook):
    catalyst_build_module all
    Once I reboot, arch linux does not boot. Last lines printed out are below and then it freezes:
    Starting temp files linker to catalyst...
    Starting Catalyst event Daemon...
    [ OK ] Started Catalyst event Daemon
    Starting Catalyst's fglrx kernel' module builder...
    [ OK ] Started temp files linker for catalyst.
    [ OK ] Started Catalyst's fglrx kernel' modue builder.
    [ OK ] Started gnome Display manager.
    [ OK ] Started Network manager.
    [ OK ] Reached target Multi-User system.
    [ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface.
    [ OK ] Reached target Network.
    I have tried to put nomodeset as a kernel parameter but it does not work. Also, after reading ArchWiki, I have noticed that it is recommended to don't do this as I am using catalyst-utils-pxp because intel driver needs it so I have removed nomodeset parameter from kernel but It continues not working.
    Any ideas?
    Package versions:
    Kernel version 3.17.6-1-ARCH
    catalyst-hook 14.12-1
    catalyst-utils-pxp 14.12-1
    lib32-catalyst-utils-pxp 14.12-1
    xorg-server 1.16.2.901-1
    xf86-video-intel 2.99.916-3

    FInally I managed to boot arch linux.
    I had to downgrade xorg-server from 1.16.2.901-1 to 1.15.2-1.
    It seems there is a problem with Catalyst 14.12-1 and xorg-server 1.16.2.901-1.
    Also I had to replace desktop manager from gdm to lightdm as gdm raises segmentation faults using xorg-server versions 1.16.2.901-1 and 1.15.2-1.
    Finally I had to add an entry in pacman.conf:
    [xorg115]
    Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/xorg115/$arch
    ## Mirrors, if the primary server does not work or is too slow:
    #Server = http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/archlinux-catalyst/repo/xorg115/$arch
    #Server = http://mirror.hactar.bz/Vi0L0/xorg115/$arch
    Then performs following actions:
    1)  # pacman -Syuu catalyst-hook catalyst-utils-pxp
    2) Uninstall all the packages xf86* such as xf86-video-intel, xf86-input-evdev,  xf86-input-synaptics, etc.
    3) Install the packages uninstalled in step 2 and install them again using xorg115 repo, for example, # pacman -S xorg115/xf86-video-intel xorg115/xf86-input-evdev xorg115/xf86-input-synaptics
    I have put a comment here.

  • AMD/ATI to open-source their drivers?

    AMD/ATI is considering opensourcing their proprietary graphics drivers:
    http://osnews.com/comment.php?news_id=15446
    Let's hope that this happens and that nvidia follows!

    while (nVidiaRoxorzMuhBoxors)
    if (AMD += ATi)
    self.state = DONT_CARE;
    Not spoken by the words of a fanboi but merely by the words of a very satisfied customer that has owned nVidia cards from the TNT2 through 6800GS (the 7900GTX makes me salivate and the 8000 series will probably make me salivate even more, although many are predicting it to be like the FX line)
    If this purchase makes ATi (now AMD through the terms of the purchase) suddenly make cards that just smear nVidia across the floor I may switch, but I am not one of those who make their decision solely on those few FPS differences.

  • [SOLVED] AMD/ATI Drivers crashing on startx

    I ordered parts to build a new HTPC that just arrived today. I built it and got arch up and running without much trouble but I hit a snag when I started trying to get X up and running (isn't this always when things seems to go wrong? lol) The board has an AMD E350 with Radeon HD 6310 graphics and from things I've read around the web, I'm going to need proprietary drivers to get good smooth HD playback. I followed instructions on the ATI Catalyst page of the Arch Wiki and added
    [catalyst]
    Server = http://catalyst.apocalypsus.net/repo/catalyst/$arch
    to my /etc/pacman.conf file then installed all the drivers through pacman. Now when I run startx i get

    I actually hadn't done either. I just did both and rebooted and xbmc opened no problem! thanks. I didn't know I needed to manually add flgrx to the rc.conf file.

  • Black screen on resume from sleep using open source AMD/ATI driver

    When waking from sleep using systemctl suspend or pm-suspend , I am presented with a black screen. I can still open programs, type, etc. but cannot see what I am doing. I usually just wind up rebooting from whatever terminal I had open, but again I can't see what I am typing. Upon reboot, the screen starts back up again. Everything else seems to resume from sleep just fine, it's just the screen that won't turn back on.
    I came from Ubuntu and had this same problem there. However, I only had this problem when using the open source xf86-video driver; when using the proprietary drivers, I was able to suspend/resume just fine. So it seems this problem is specific to the open source drivers.
    If I'm using an external monitor, my external monitor will resume just fine after waking from sleep, but the laptop screen will not.
    Googling around shows this is a common problem with AMD/ATI cards, and after a lot of attempts and failures I'm interested in knowing if anyone else has solved this problem.
    What I've tried so far (without success):
    -various quirks included with pm-utils to turn on dpms after resume
    -xrandr after resumption from sleep
    ==xrandr --output LVDS --off (If used without suspending (so while the screen still works) this seems to crash Gnome the first time around, but Gnome automatically restarts. If used a second time, it completely blanks the screen and requires a reboot)
    ==xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1600x900
    -xset dpms force on or xset dpms force off after resumption from sleep
    -vbetool dpms off and vbetool dpms on results in error message "Real mode call failed"
    -scripts using vbetool or xrandr when resuming from sleep
    -switching between virtual consoles and gnome using alt-ctrl-fn-f1 and alt-ctrl-fn-f2 keys
    My setup:
    -HP Envy dv7
    -UEFI dual-boot with Windows 8
    -AMD Radeon HD 7640G
    -xf86-video-ati 1:7.2.0-1 driver
    -Gnome DE using GDM login manager
    Thank you.
    EDIT: I did try using the proprietary drivers for a time, but found I couldn't adjust my brightness. At first I thought working suspension > adjustable brightness, but I quickly changed my mind after one night of trying to work on an unadjustable maximally bright screen.

    Unfortunately I could not fix the problem so I wiped my system and loaded all new drivers before I found this posting.
    Is there a way to get the old ATI driver that works? The only one available on the ATI and Lenovo website is the latest one with the problem. I agree with you David, Lenovo should have fixed this problem already with ATI.
