radeon switch OFF / switch ON experiment
I am the happy owner of an hybrid Intel core i5 480M / AMD Radeon 6550M latop.
- IGP is Intel ironlake
- DGD is AMD radeon 6550M
I just installed kernel 3.11.0-rc2.
switching the discrete GPU OFF via the vgaswticheroo works from within X or
from the console :
echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
0:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0
1:DIS: :Pwr:0000:02:00.0
2:DIS-Audio: :Pwr:0000:02:00.1
I then tried to switch the radeon back ON from the console with X down :
echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
It messed up the console display : screen turned to dominant grey scattered
with coloured pixels making it unreadable, forcing me to reboot.
The attachment is the excerpt of my kern.log file for my radeon switch OFF /
switch ON experiment.
switch off is at [ 76.634983]
switch on is at [ 2167.936488] or [ 2167.936517]
I also noticed :
[ 5.457569] ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.GFX0._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch -
Found [Integer], ACPI requires [Package] (20130517/nsarguments-95)
[ 5.457739] ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.GFX0._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch -
Found [Integer], ACPI requires [Package] (20130517/nsarguments-95)
which seems to be related to vgaswitcheroo setup, but I don't know if it's
relevant or not.
Let me know if you need anything else.
thanks for your help,
Seb.
