Title:
  vgaswitcheroo - Can't switch to dedicated GPU

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have a dual-GPU notebook, with a Intel Ironlake integrated GPU and a
  AMD 5650m dedicated GPU. Due to the fact that the privative AMD
  drivers doesn't work with this particular combination of GPU (muxed
  system) I am stuck with open source drivers and vga_switcheroo to
  choose between them.

  However since the upgrade to 13.04, I can't switch to the dedicated
  GPU as I could in 12.10. When I activate the AMD card and logout of
  the active session (in order to kill X, as needed by vgaswitcheroo), I
  can't get to lightdm and I get this message: "vga_switcheroo: client 1
  refused switch" and "vga_switcheroo: client 101 refused switch". After
  this, the only option is to drop to TTY and restart the system.

  Also, possible related, when shutting down the notebook I get a lot of
  "atombios stuck executing... for more than 5 secs" errors.

  Both GPUs are working fine in Windows and, as said, used to work fine
  in Ubuntu 12.10.
