Hey,
I recently bought a laptop with a Radeon HD 8770M (Mars XT) card and Ivy Bridge integrated graphics. I was told that since Mars was actually a rebrand of Tahiti (which is a Southern Islands/7xxx architecture), support for it would be in good shape. However, I can't boot to anything other than the integrated graphics. Is there any way to force loading the Radeon driver at boot?
By the way, I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 with kernel 3.11-rc4, the latest Mesa/Xorg builds from the OIBAF PPA, and all the latest Radeon microcode.
