im running ubuntu 13.04 on my Sony VPCSB37_GA with intel and amd Graphic cards I followed this tutorial so i can switch between intel and amd and it was working good, till yesterday. now i can only boot on intel, whenever i switch to amd by:

sudo aticonfig --xp-dgpu

and reboot, i get the "The system is running in low-graphics mode". i am using the tty1 to run:

sudo aticonfig --xp-igpu

and get back to the intel card. i don't know what happened, maybe because of an update? i also re-installed everything from the same tutorial and re-installed ubuntu-desktop and lightdm but nothings works.

The latest stable driver is not compatible with Ubuntu 13.04 yet. If you want to try the beta builder that has compatibility (in its changelog: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst13-6LINBetaDriver.aspx). If you want to install, you can follow this tutorial with the beta driver:
