RadeonHD+IntelGMA switchable

 

Hi there,

I've compiled kernel with switcheroo enabled, but can't see those debugfs entries. Diggigng around I can't get where those calls of switcheroo are called from. Is it firmware image to trigger those calls? And does it mean only that combination of vga adapters/drivers/firmware will be compatible with switcheroo?

Some details:
