Public bug reported: Hello,
I've tried to use vga_switcheroo as I've got an acer Timeline. It uses an ati card and an intel chipset. In order to have vga_switcheroo working, I've modified my rc.local file like this : sleep 10 chown jean-demange /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch || true sleep 20 echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch || true sleep 10 echo "eteignation de la carte" >> /var/log/rc.local_log touch /var/log/rc.local_execute_avec_succes || true exit 0 But sometimes (after a unpluging or plugin my computer, using sleep) the graphical session does not start correctly : the screen gets black and does not switch on again. I can access to a console with ctrl+alt+F1. I've put the dmesg.log produced when the computer does not start well. In the console, when I try to reach /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch, nothing happen (eg : $sudo su then $cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch does nothing (the tty hang : it is not possible to do anything else)). But when the system correctly, with this command, I can see the state of both graphics cards. Thanks.
