So i have HP Pavilion dv6z with 5650
so i just installed the CCC of this version
ATI Catalyst? Proprietary Display Driver
which supposedly covers all 5xxx for notebook
but after install the CCC, i still get the CCC to read onboard VGA
how do i enable the 5650? it makes me mad that knowing the 5650 just gets idle
anyone here manage to get it work?
i am using uBuntu 10.10
thanks in advance

That's a switchable card? Are you using vga_switcheroo? There's more info on it elsewhere, but here are some links I posted in another thread:
