[Bug 1310632] [NEW] when radeon module is inserted skype, drive manager and audio and video settings hang; vgaswitcheroo does not work

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

If I start the system with radeon module blacklisted everything works
with the issue of having the discrete radeon card on and a higher cpu
temperature.

If I insert the radeon module  many things hang.
In particular: if I start skype before  I insert the module I cannot do  calls anymore. If I try to start skype after inserting the module it hangs at the login.
The same is true for "drive manager" and "audio and video settings" from systemsettings.

Moreover  vgaswitcheroo is unable to switch on the discrete card.
More explictly, issuing 
echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
the discrete card remains off.
