Re: [Bug 1467274] Re: [HP Pavilion dv7-4272us] Display glitches occur

Success!!

I simply removed /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so completely,
so X was forced to use a standard frame buffer.

Sound no longer worked, but by removing alsa-base & pulseaudio &
reinstalling, I got sound back again.

So now I can play videos w/o using the GPU at all!

Wooppeee!

Title:
  [HP Pavilion dv7-4272us] Display glitches occur

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Display glitches occur every time the display changes from the IGD to
  DIS, and vice versa.

  I'm trying to _keep the DIS GPU *turned off* in order to save power
  and keep this laptop cool.

  I can't tell who keeps turning the DIS GPU back on, but I'd love to know how to keep the DIS GPU locked OFF.
