After a lot of research, I stumbled upon a problem I cannot resolve.
I am trying to make ubuntu use my dedicated Radeon graphics card (HD 8670M), but no matter what I try (and trust me, I did go over every single thread related to my problem here) Ubuntu doesn't want to use it. Which is a problem, because the integrated intel one doesn't support 3D acceleration. I have installed the open-source AMD driver already (xorg amd and mesa), but this doesn't solve my problem.



To add insult to injury when I run lscpi | grep VGA - only intel is listed. That being said - if I run lspci -nn | grep -E 'VGA|Display' I get the following:



00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0416] (rev 06)
01:00.0 Display controller [0380]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Sun XT [Radeon HD 8670A/8670M/8690M / R5 M330 / M430 / Radeon 520 Mobile] [1002:6660]


One more thing - when I run sudo apt-get upgrade I get the following odd message:



 The following packages have been kept back:
libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libglapi-mesa libglapi-mesa:i386
libglx-mesa0 libglx-mesa0:i386 libosmesa6 libosmesa6:i386 linux-generic
linux-headers-generic linux-headers-lowlatency linux-image-generic
linux-image-lowlatency linux-lowlatency ubuntu-desktop
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 15 not upgraded.


Please advise on how to proceed.
