Simon K, would disabling the discrete graphics card in BIOS be an
additional available method?

As well, given the issue appears to be identified with vgaswitcheroo not
quite being free of causing collatoral damage, and you have what appears
to be an acceptable alternative to disabling your graphics card, would
you like to pursue a fix for this, or would disabling the garphics card
via upstart-job be considered a solution?

Title:
  [HP TouchSmart tm2-2010eg] Linux hangs with: "[drm:atom_op_jump]
  *ERROR* atombios stuck in loop for more than 5secs aborting"

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Symptom: Linux isn't displaying changes after switching to tty1 and back to Unity. Steps to reproduce:
  1. Starting up to Unity
  2. Switch to tty1 (Strg + Alt + F1)
  3. Switching back to Unity

  or resuming the system from suspend leads to the same isssue.This
  method isn't as reliable as the method stated above.

  What happens: The screen freezes. Magic Keys [Alt + Print + S/U/B] are
  working thou (so linux-kernel is responding?!) I can't switch to tty1
  either. The system becomes responding again after ~2min. Switching VTs
  is possible afterwards but leads to the same bug again.

  What is expected: Showing up a responding Unity.

  WORKAROUND: My radeon is switched off using:
  echo"OFF">/sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch 
  By turning "ON" the graphics card the above stated problem doesn't appear.
