<pre>On a dual gpu macbook pro 8,2 with gmux under efi, after getting the system to
a sane state with:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
0:IGD: :Off:0000:00:02.0
1:DIS:+:Pwr:0000:01:00.0
2:DIS-Audio:+:Pwr:0000:01:00.1
running:
cd /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo
echo OFF > switch
echo MIGD > switch
echo IGD > switch
To swap to the intel i915 causes the display to go blank. Swapping back to the
radeon, the display operates correctly again.
Here is the dmesg from attempting to swap to the i915 then swapping back to the
radeon

This has never worked in any kernel versions, but would be excellent to have
fixed.</pre>
