Trying to use the Radeon 8790M on my Dell Latitude E6540 running Kubuntu 13.04 (Raring). This laptop also has an Intel adapter (for power saving). lspci gives:



$ lspci | grep VGA 
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Mars [Radeon HD 8790M]


Tried using the standard fglrx and fglrx-update and aticonfig results in (in a message box):



aticonfig: No supported adapters detected


Trying AMD's drivers always renders the same result:



Your graphics adaper is not supported by this driver. Installation will not proceed. 


There is no 3D acceleration, as evident by running glxgears:



$ glxgears 
X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 153 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
Serial number of failed request: 12
Current serial number in output stream: 12


This may be an issue of the multi-adapter situation, but I'm not sure how to resolve this.

Indeed patience was the solution.



ATI just published an updated driver (13.8 beta2), which installs successfully.
