[Guillermo Lo Coco <glococo@xxxxxxxxx>]

I found that my notebook HP G62 is a Muxless GPU system, with an IGP
i915 + DIS Radeon 54xx.

The way I can run an app in accelerated mode is with "DRI_PRIME=1
glxgears"

But I cannot enable it by default.

Also an important app for me fail to start with this silly message:
"intel_do_flush_locked failed: No such file or directory"

Title:
  Can't switch to Radeon rendering

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After playing a lot, I can't swith from integrated Intel to Discrete
  Radeon VGA.

  vgaswitcheroo:

  0:DIS-Audio: :Off:0000:01:00.1
  1:DIS: :DynOff:0000:01:00.0
  2:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0

  If: "echo DIS > ...../switch" display turn off. 
  I tried make an script, switching to DIS and after launching a modified xorg.conf. But even that, none seem to happend. Screen still off.
   
  GLXHEAD show rendering with INTEL instead of discrete Radeon:
  root@labPC:/tmp# glxheads 
  glxheads: exercise multiple GLX connections (any key = exit)
  Usage:
    glxheads xdisplayname ...
  Example:
    glxheads :0 mars:0 venus:1
  Name: :0
    Display:     0x1302010
    Window:      0x4400003
    Context:     0x13134f0
    GL_VERSION:  2.1 Mesa 10.3.2
    GL_VENDOR:   Intel Open Source Technology Center
    GL_RENDERER: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Ironlake Mobile 

  Any openGL rendering app run slow.

  My question is, How can I enable Discrete Radeon GPU ?

  Thanks in advance!
