Description of problem: Attached is the hardware profile. This Sony Vaio VPCSB16FG has two video cards. One on board an intel one and the other is AMD HD6470M. Its a problem because the external monitor connection does not work with the intel card only the AMD HD6470M. There are many computers with this double configuration and it would be good to get them working. There is a speed stamina switch that is used to switch between them. First sign of problem. DVD to install fedora 14 does not work unless you choose the basic video option. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I installed ati-driver-installer-11-9-x86.x86_64.run . After install using the standard install options and reboot the screen does not work. Only could get it to work after booting in text mode run level 3 and running the uninstall script. On the internet people claim the dual video cards are causing this problem. How reproducible: Easy to reproduce Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get this type of computer install driver and reboot. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:

Hi It's been a few months but no activity yet on this bug. Hope some one can look into it soon. Please prompt xorg-x11-drv-ati to assign this bug. Thanks.
I have just upgraded to fedora 16 and the problem persists. After upgrading the screen when blank. The text mode recovery option worked. I installed xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.16.0-2.fc16.x86_64.rpm using the text mode. Then I put "intel" as the driver in Xorg.conf. This provided a work around to the problem. The main problem was the monitor did not work. Now that works. The old driver "vesa" is now removed from the configuration file. It half worked with fedora 14 but not at all with fedora 16. The appearance and themes have "disappeared" from the menus. Not sure why this is. Perhaps unrelated. I will investigate further.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
