<pre>I have a 3820TG intel Ironlake/radeon 6550M hybrid laptop, and I am affected by
this bug too. I tried your "drm/i915: do not disable backlight on vgaswitcheroo
switch off" patch on kernel 3.11-rc3 and it works.
I have been able to switch from integrated to discrete and back with success.
...But only 3 times :-(
I did the following sequence :
step #1 : login to X on integrated (intel HD)
cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
0:DIS-Audio: :Pwr:0000:02:00.1
1:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0
2:DIS: :Pwr:0000:02:00.0
echo DDIS > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
step #2 : login to X on discrete (radeon 6550M)
cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
0:DIS-Audio: :Pwr:0000:02:00.1
1:IGD: :Off:0000:00:02.0
2:DIS:+:Pwr:0000:02:00.0
echo DIGD > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
step #3 : login to X on integrated (intel HD)
cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
0:DIS-Audio: :Off:0000:02:00.1
1:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0
2:DIS: :Off:0000:02:00.0
echo DDIS > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
This time the radeon messes up the display immediately, i.e. it happens before
I logout from X. But that's a nice improvement!</pre>
