Matthieu Baerts, could you please test the latest mainline kernel via
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-saucy/ and advise to
the results?

** Description changed:

- Hello,
- 
- I'm using Ubuntu Raring 13.04 with the latest version of the kernel
- available in these repos (3.8.0-19.29).
- 
- Sometimes I have a kernel OOPS at startup and it seems it's because I switch off my ATI card.
+ With using Kernel 3.8 and newer sometimes I have a kernel OOPS at startup and it seems it's because I switch off my ATI card.
  I added this line in my /etc/rc.local file:
-    echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
+    echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
  
  I don't have this bug each time but I guess it depends if this previous
- command is launched before or after that X11's launch.
- 
- I'm using this card: Mobility Radeon HD 4650.
+ command is launched before or after that X11's launch. I'm using this
+ card: Mobility Radeon HD 4650.
  
  It seems that this bug has already reported to there: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49531 and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61529
  But I guess it can be interesting to track this bug on Launchpad.
