Trouble getting vga_switcheroo to work

 

Hi all,

I just got myself a new notebook (HP Pavilion dv7) yesterday, and was
disappointed to see it struggling with the hybrid graphics.

I tried to follow the steps at http://asusm51ta-with-linux.blogspot.com/ but
it doesn't work with the error message saying no such file or directory at
/sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch. This was after installing the FGLRX
drivers through jockey-gtk. Any tips on getting that rc.local script to work
correctly, i.e. have /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo actually be there?
