I have a Dell Inspiron 15r laptop with Intel CoreI7 4500u and an AMD Radeon 8600 HD and recently I have installed a Debian Jessie Linux with XFCE desktop. My problem is this: I try to install Fglrx AMD Driver, but when I enable it XServer won't work, the log contains the following message : [ 226.609] X.Org X Server 1.16.4 Release Date: 2014-12-20 [ 226.612] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 226.613] Build Operating System: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian [ 226.614] Current Operating System: Linux localhost 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt7-1 (2015-03-01) x86_64 [ 226.614] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64 root=UUID=5aa12b5b-ac46-4da0-8d99-4b981388ce53 ro quiet [ 226.616] Build Date: 11 February 2015 12:32:02AM [ 226.617] xorg-server 2:1.16.4-1 (http://www.debian.org/support) [ 226.618] Current version of pixman: 0.32.6 [ 226.620] Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
