Title:
  [MSI CX420] vgaswitcheroo is not activated even after multiple
  restarts

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I am running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit on a MSI CX-420 machine. It as two
  GPUs, an ATI HD 5470 and an onboard Intel HD Graphics. I do not
  usually use the ATI card and turn it off all the time on boot as it
  heats up my computer.

  At first, I did not have a problem with turning off the GPU from
  ubuntu 10.10, 11.10 (not counting the time when the kernel would crash
  on me on removable storages since it was fixed - thanks!), and then
  12.04 until very recently. Whenever I boot my computer up, the
  /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo directory does not exist until I
  restart it again. However, now, I have restarted my computer for the
  third time already and the vgaswitcheroo directory still does not
  exist.

  Running the command " lspci | grep VGA " only outputs the ff:
      00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12)
  when it should have reported 2 GPUs

  I am thinking this should be a problem in the kernel since it is the
  vgaswitcheroo (or the detection of GPU hardware) that I am having
  problems with. I hope I am not mistaken in sending this bug report.

  Hoping this gets fixed soon ('cause it's an LTS release, people really
  are expecting a lot) and thanks in advance
