When i use the command "echo DIS > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch", the
screen of my laptop (HP Pavilion dv7) freeze. Impossible to switch to another
tty and if i write a command in the console nothing appears.

If i write "echo IGD > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/swith", the screen
refreshes and i can use normally my laptop.

I can't disable the intel card in the bios.

the result of the command "cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/swith" :
0:DIS: :Pwr:0000:01:00.0
1:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0

The log (/var/log/messages) when i want switch to ATI :
Jun 12 22:11:17 ackak-hp kernel: [  133.005729] fbcon: Remapping primary
device, fb0, to tty 1-63
Jun 12 22:11:17 ackak-hp kernel: [  133.005976] i915: switched off
