Integrated GPU not getting enumerated

Hi,

I have a AMD A8-3850 fusion APU and a PCIex based ATI firepro v4800 Graphics Card.

I have installed the AMD APP SDK 2.6 with Latest ATI catalyst driver 12.1 (I have checked the driver conformance).

The machine runs ubuntu 11.10.

I needed couple of clarifications regarding the way the integrated GPU (on-chip) should behave.

 

1. It should be enumerated as another GPU device..right? i,e If I do clinfo, I should be seeing

   two GPU devices and 1 CPU device..is that correct?

 

2. If the answer to the above question is yes, then I am seeing a problem. When I run clinfo,

   I see only one GPU device (the external one) and one CPU device. I am not able to see

   the APU's integrated gpu getting enumerated.

 

   I also tried running the "SimpleMultidevice" program from the AMD kit sample. (I modified it slightly to

   list the number of GPU and CPU devices. Here is the ouput.

 

   numGPUDevices 1 numCPUDevices 1

   ----------------------------------------------------------

   CPU + GPU Test 1 : Single context Single Thread

   ----------------------------------------------------------

   Total time : 74

   Time of CPU : 73.3002

   Time of GPU : 14.6531

   ----------------------------------------------------------

   CPU + GPU Test 2 : Multiple context Single Thread

   ----------------------------------------------------------

   Total time : 74

   Time of CPU : 77.6433

   Time of GPU : 14.5721

   ----------------------------------------------------------

   CPU + GPU Test 3 : Multiple context Multiple Thread

   ----------------------------------------------------------

   Total time : 74

   Time of CPU : 73.3301

   Time of GPU : 14.5074

   It is able to see only one GPU device. Can someone please clarify as to what might have gone wrong here?

   Previous couple of posts related to this issue have gone unanswered.

    Below I am pasting the output of clinfo

Hi jeff,

Thanks a lot for the pointer! The problem was partially in the bios settings. But it was not that of integrated GPU not being enabled, but rather, the integrated GPU was set as the secondary display device and the discrete graphics card as the primary device. Because of this the integrated GPU was not getting recognized in the system even though it was enabled.

Secondly, our XServer had to be configured explicitly with "device" and "screen" sections for both integrated GPU and the Discrete card. Now the problem is resolved.

Thanks again

Make sure you have the integrated GPU enabled in the system BIOS, even when there's a discrete card present.

Hello,

As someone who isn't familiar with Linux could you go into more detail what you mean by explicitly setting "device" and "screen" sections for XServer?

Thanks,

Jeff
