<div dir="ltr">I would stick to Intel integrated GPUs. Most new nVidia mobile parts are paired with Optimus, which I have first hand, painful experience with. I would put ATI in the second position as a result.</div><div class="gmail_extra">

<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>I run Ubuntu Studio 12.04 64 bit on a Sony Vaio VPCEB1S1E with an "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 - 1024 MB, Core: 450 MHz, Memory: 790 MHz, 8.14.10.0708". In earlier US versions had some trouble with shadings before I installed ATI proprietary drivers, but I haven't seen those issues since 12.04.</div>
<div>In 12.04 I chose Additional Drivers and "ATI/AMD proprietary graphics driver", not the experimental beta or post-release but they might function well, I just haven't tested them as I want as stable environment as possible. My only reason to use the ATI drivers were to connect my external monitor through HDMI, which I couldn't get to work properly without installing the ATI drivers. For some reason I had to start up AMD Catalyst Control Center every time I booted up before the driver would understand that the external monitor was connected. Then one day it just stopped and remember the settings anyway.</div>
<div>I have also tried it out on 12.10 64 bit, worked the same as in 12.04. Then I installed 13.04 64 bit when it was released and installed the latest driver from ATI manually. Same issue there, I had to start the AMD control center every boot to redo my settings for the monitors.</div>
<div>Recently I have found that I might be able to configure the external monitor within Xfce without involving the ATI drivers, but I haven't investigated further since, well it already works. I don't do any 3D or gaming so I have no experience in the behaviour there.</div>
