Kernel config

Trying to setup script, that switches video cards, I ran into the situation
when I left with a black screen not possible to do anything with the system.
Here is an example:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
0:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:01:05.0
1:DIS: :Pwr:0000:02:00.0
# echo IGD > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
0:IGD:+:Off:0000:01:05.0
1:DIS: :Pwr:0000:02:00.0

I think that this behaviour is buggy and this should not happen.

Environment:
# lspci | grep -i vga
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon
HD 3200 Graphics]
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M93 [Mobility Radeon HD
