Rohan Garg, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please just make a comment to this.

if reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (v13.3-rc3, as rc4 doesn't have all the necessary files) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  [Macbook Pro 8,2] Screen blanks when calling vgaswitcheroo

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi
  By default when you try and switch graphics card on a Macbook Pro 8,2 from the ATI card to the Intel card , the screen is blanked and never turned on. This is due to the driver not knowing about the LVDS Panel mode since the machine was started with the discrete card on.

  This patch
  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~mlankhorst/linux/commit/?id=ae7b687c2a57ec50a9d3dde7b0a80a262fdc8c8
  fixes graphics card switching.

  I have applied this patch on the 3.9.1 and 3.8.2 upstream kernels and
  it fixes the issue for me.

  Could this possibly be fixed for S and be SRU'd for Raring?
