You will find in attachement the required files. Here is the original message
without the enclosed document inside :

============================================================================

I have a Medion MD 97521 with two graphics systems :
1) Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD 0046
2) ATI radeon 5165 HD.

It is what is written into the computer specification on paper and what I can
check when I boot with Microsoft Windows 7. Both graphics system are working
with Windows 7, so no hardware is broken.

I try to use one of both with Ubuntu 10.10 2.6.35-27-generic i686.
I installed the requied packages, among them :
- xserver-xorg-video-intel for Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD 0046.
- xserver-xorg-video-radeon for ATI radeon 5165 HD.

See the result of lspci -nn in attachment. The card is identified as a 4650
instead of a 5165.

When I try to use the ATI graphics system, with the xconf.org in attachment, I
got the error "(EE) No devices detected".

Which means that ATI graphics system is not recognized by Xorg.
But it is written into the log above that :
- ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 is managed.
- ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series is managed.

So it should work if the ATI 5165 HD card should be well managed / recognized.
What is a bug.

Today, since the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD 0046 is not managed
either by the intel driver, I can only use my ATI card in low resolution with
the fbdev driver.

============================================================================

You reply "The mixup with HD4650 is expected, AMD rebranded HD4650 as HD5165 we
don't follow such rebranding."

Should I understand that this ATI HD5165 graphics card is not supported?
