On Linux platform, how to select APU integrated GPU when descrete AMD Graphics cards are available?

I installed the newest Linux driver 15.5 and found I cannot select graphics output by APU itself. It seems automatically select the first PCI-E device as default output.

Enviroment:

APU: A10-7870K (main board supports APU GPU)

Devices: R9-295x2, HD 5870

Before I installed 15.5 diver, I choosed APU graphics output as the default output in BIOS settings and installed CentOS 7 x64_64 and it works well.

After I installed the driver, it changed to output on first PCI-E device.

I tried "aticonfig --px-igpu" but it doesn't work.

the result of "aticonfig --list-adapters" doesn't contain APU GPU, only PCI-E GPUs are seen. Why?

Can anybody provide solutions to use APU integrated GPU again with official driver?

My apologies for this late reply.

Please check whether “lspci | grep VGA” command shows the integrated GPU one or not. Otherwise, it might have been disabled and needs to be enabled from the BIOS.

[root@Machine ~]# lspci | grep VGA

[root@Machine ~]# aticonfig --list-adapters

  2. 05:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 5800 Series

I have enabled integrated GPU in BIOS and have chosen it as the first output device but no luck.

The machine installed dual OS, Windows 10 and CentOS 7. On both OS, the graphics driver shipped with OS works well for integrated graphics output. After installing the AMD proprietary driver, the output automatically changed to discrete PCI-E card and it seems no way to change back. Now the machine outputs on integrated GPU before OS finishing boot, and outputs on discrete GPU after OS reaching login screen: it is unconvenient for dual OS switch.

I'm still hunting for the solution. I've asked few folks regarding the problem but haven't got any definitive answer yet . I need few inputs from you.

1) Did you try to reinstall the driver freshly?

2) If you run the "clinfo" command, do you see all the cards? Or "clinfo" also lists the same gpus as "aticonfig --list-adapters" command

3) Can you please check the commands in console mode (without X) and share your findings?

4) Whether removing any card showing the integrated GPU or not?
