Hi guys, here is my laptop specs that is facing some problem with mint linux 12 64bit
DV6-6C19TX
Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM
AMD Radeon HD 7690M XT (1 GB DDR5)
Dual booting of mint linux 12 64bit and windows 7 home prem 64bit.

CODE
Graphics:  Card-1: Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller bus-ID: 00:02.0
          Card-2: ATI Whistler XT [AMD Radeon HD 6700M Series] bus-ID: 01:00.0
          X.Org 1.10.4 drivers fglrx unloaded: intel Resolution 1366x768@60.0hz
          GLX Renderer AMD Radeon HD 6700M Series GLX Version 4.2.11399 - CPC Direct Rendering Yes


I have being searching for solution til now but still found no solution to it other than not installing the AMD ATi proprietary into it.
so I have installed the latest amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run from the official channel and everything is working fine with all the things displaying nicely. but whenever i uses the ati control panel to switch from ati to intel graphic and reboot, the problem started that whenever i login to the default gnome, i only c my desktop icons with the top and bottom bars. i tried login to gnome(classic) than everything is working fine. but i do found out that im in fallout mode whenever im using intel graphic.
i have even tried to set this:
CODE

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash [B]nomodeset[/B] pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 acpi_backlight=vendor acpi_osi=Linux"

but it would always resulted in stop loading during boot and always have to force ctrl+alt+del to restart and go to the recovery mode to remove that nomodeset kernel option.

i switch to intel graphic is when im using my notebook on battery and to conserve battery while on the go.
