[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1361209@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have a Dell Inspiron 3521 with AMD/Intel hybrid graphics.
OS - Ubuntu 14.04.1 (Linux kernel 3.13.0)

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Thames [Radeon HD 7500M/7600M Series] (rev ff)

sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
0:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0
1:DIS: :DynOff:0000:01:00.0

Fan runs constantly, and battery backup is maximum 2 hours or even less
sometimes using the open-source drivers.

I have posted a similar info for xserver-xorg-video-ati because I found a bug report #1304912.
But recently I installed fglrx drivers to see if I get better results and changed the driver in use to Intel from the Catalyst-Control-Center.
The observation I made was that the problem persisted even when only the intel drivers were in use.
So there could be problem with xserver-xorg-video-intel as the discrete graphics card is shown to be dynamically off.
