[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed update broke vgaswitcheroo
Hi there, Just zypper dupped to Linux Kernel: 3.7.1-17-desktop Tried my usual trick of running vgaswitcheroo to turn off my second graphics card (hybrid graphics i915 + AMD Radeon HD 6400M), but it didn't work. This is the usual command: # echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch System Monitor plasma widget gives me a temperature reading that would normally indicate the AMD card has been switched off (-127.9DegC), but the fan is still going hard and my power usage is half what it should be. Has anyone had a similar experience? Running # grep -i switcheroo /boot/config-* Gives me: CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO=y So the kernel has been properly compiled with this option. Bit baffled. Any advice welcome. Regards, Trent -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
