If I check the graphich chips status, I get:

#> cat  /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
0:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0
1:DIS: :Pwr: etc etc...

so, if I understand correctly, I MUST also disable the discrete
graphic chip with a script like this:

#####################################################
#! /bin/bash

modprobe radeon
echo IGD > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
#####################################################

and then add to /etc/rc/rc.local
Is this
