[Bug 860892] [NEW] Discrete Graphics not working

 

Public bug reported:

I've got a HP Envy 17 which has two video cards, an Intel card and an ATI card.
Ubuntu identifies the ATI and ask if I would like to install the proprietary drivers, event installing it the ATI card will not work since I do not have an easy way to switch between the cards ... and or disable to Intel card (which is fine most of the times, but not when running on battery!)
Is there anyway to be able to switch between the two?

As well there are side effects intalling the ATI proprietary driver:
