Talk:Vga switcheroo

Alternative to hprofile
Of course using the same kernel settings, I installed eselect-xorgconf from rion overlay to manage my xorg.conf symlink and wrote a small shell script to handle both the symlink and switcheroo:

vgaswitch (eselect-xorgconf makes odd use of white space.)

It requires you to name the X11 config files xorg.conf.digd and xorg.conf.disc respectively.

It works like a charm with a 2.6.35 series kernel and eselect-xorgconf-0.3. I recently wanted to update to 2.6.38, but the output of /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch changed, the screen kept flickering and the VGA controller shown as off (radeon!) produced an endless stream of error messages.
