I'm trying to switch from my integrated Intel graphic to my Radeon 6470m. I'm on my laptop model HP Pavilion g7 1019eg.



I used this text with no luck



 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation 
Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09)

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
[AMD/ATI] Seymour [Radeon HD 6400M/7400M Series] [1002:6760] (rev ff)

The GRUB is configured to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeo.modeset=1"

vga_switcheroo is enabled (TESTED)


The current state of the Hybrid Graphic is :



0:DIS: :DynOff:0000:01:00.0

1:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0


I solved some root issues and when I type



sudo echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch or 
sudo echo DIS > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch


nothing happens and the state is the same.

  • The state is correct. You can use DRI-PRIME to switch graphics.

Can't comment yet, so i'll write here:



use DRI_PRIME=1 *command* if you want to run some apps with Radeon GPU.



But if you seeking permanent switch, i don't know and i'd like know too.
