I also mark this bug against xserver-xorg-video-ati in order to check the status.
>From what I understand, from muxless ati/intel systems there are two cases >(selected by vgaswtcheroo): a) The rendering is done by the Intel card (default case). Intel card is on, ATI card should be off to save power b) The rendering is done by the ATI card. Both cards are on (ATI for rendering, Intel for display) What I state is that in the first case, the ATI card should be off in order to save power, which is not what happens now (it remains on doing nothing). Seeing that this is the default configuration, it means that way too many hybrid systems (mostly laptops) consume around 10W of useless power, with dramatic effects in battery life. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987401 Title: Ubuntu should poweroff video cards not in use To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/987401/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
