Title:
  when radeon module is inserted skype, drive manager and  audio and
  video settings hang; vgaswitcheroo does not work

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  If I start the system with radeon module blacklisted everything works
  with the issue of having the discrete radeon card on and a higher cpu
  temperature.

  If I insert the radeon module  many things hang.
  In particular: if I start skype before  I insert the module I cannot do  calls anymore. If I try to start skype after inserting the module it hangs at the login.
  The same is true for "drive manager" and "audio and video settings" from systemsettings.

  Moreover  vgaswitcheroo is unable to switch on the discrete card.
  More explictly, issuing 
  echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
  the discrete card remains off.
