I have hp pavillion g6 within radeon hd 6470m and intel3000 graphics.
after I install proper ati non free drivers from amd.com and type
aticonfig --initial
it creates /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
after i reboot gui(Xserver) doesnt start and it returns to shell login.
when I type fglrxinfo it says "unable to open display (null)"
and gui doesnt start unless I remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf
also there were a lot of errors on installation (ie. dkms not build, version.h not found, libGL.so.1 not found ...) but i fixed them so there is no mistake on installation
I tried about 30 different ways to correct this but nothing changed (adding nomodeset, radeon.modeset=0 blah blah to grub, successfully installing fglrx-driver with apt-get(it gives blinking cursor with no gui tough), writing my custom Xorg.conf file, using X -configure output as Xorg.conf, downgrading Xserver to 1.11 instead 1.13)
I know there is always problem with hybrid graphics on linux(especially when u dont have some menu about gpus in your bios) but once i succeed to run my radeon card(also catalyst) after long processes on backtrack 5r3.
there isnt gpu mode(doesnt have any options about anything thanks to hp) on my bios menu.
my kali defaultly uses mesa driver but it heats pc like **** and I guess it uses integrated intel gpu
btw I use kali 1.0.2 amd64 with kernel 3.7-blah and fully upgraded(distro and repos)
here is Xorg.0.log
