Latest radeon driver with 7670M

Tue Sep 24 12:31:50 PDT 2013

Hi All,

Fglrx 2D is dead slow for me so I'm wondering if my 7670M (Turks on Dell
5520 laptop, hybrid with Intel) is supported with latest 7.2 free Radeon
driver. I've spent few hours googling with no luck. I'll really
appreciate any help to get this working. Seems it's not detecting any
outputs, but I have an external LCD connected via hdmi along with
laptop's lvds1. With default xorg.conf I'm getting:
