Title:
  Crash on vgaswitcheroo is off

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Even since ubuntu 10.04 there is a issue with vgaswitcheroo that
  bothers me.

  I have an Nvidia-Optimus ready laptop (Dell N5110). I am using
  vgaswitchheroo to disable my dedicated graphics because my laptop
  becomes very hot if i don't do it. I don't install any Nvidia-
  restricted or official drivers because they make my system extremly
  unstable.

  As you can see, vgaswitchheroo is working fine.

  alias nv_on='echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch'

                         (crit = +105.0°C, hyst =  +5.0°C)
                         (emerg = +135.0°C, hyst =  +5.0°C)

  </pre>

  My issue is the fact that I must enable vgaswitchheroo before i shut
  down my computer. If i don't do it the computer will show a black
  screen and just hang.

  Moreover, with vgaswitchheroo disabled, i will get an instant freeze
  when i want to access tty1 for example (CTRL+ALT+F1).

  
  Steps to reproduce this issue:
  * Disable vgaswitcheroo on an optimus-capable computer with no nvidia drivers installed
  * Try to shut down the computer OR press CTRL+ALT+F1

  Expected results:
  * Normal shutdown OR go to tty1

  What happens instead:
  * Computer freezes
