echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
'blacklist radeon'
at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
To control if the device is disable type the command :
lspci -vnnn | grep VGAThe controller which is active should end with :
[VGA controller]
!! EDIT :
laptops featuring hybrid graphics show a huge raise in
power drain after a suspend/resume cycle
This is because the X server doesn't currently support GPU hot-pluggin.
A workaround is to move the code from
'/etc/rc.local'
to your '~/.profile'
and first force to switch ON then to switch OFF.
