Try going to http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Category:Distributions and following the installation instructions for your distribution. That site also has advice for troubleshooting common issues and/or problems.

Nice to know, I might give yet another try on my HD 6550.
Are you on 32 or 64 bit?

Also i think it's unaceptable to have some discrete cards completely unusable on Linux after months and no bios option either!!

Hey Guys,

Some good news. I own an HP Pavilion dv7 that has a Hybrid graphics setup with an AMD 6700M HD and Intel cards and I have just installed the recently released AMD graphics driver (12.1 - http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx) and my hybrid graphics setup is now working beautifully. Suspend/Resume, switching from low power to high performance works awesomely.

So there seems to finally be some proper traction in the drivers for AMD hybrid setups in Linux. Finally I can get rid of Windows 7 completely and play my games in Linux :D:D:D
