(Get the code!)
One interesting thing with the modified debs from Nick Andrik:
My HP ProBook 4730s has a similar muxless switching setup (Intel HD 3000 + Radeon 6470m).
Booting up with the HD 3000 results in a X segfault, can't log in, can't even switch to a tty in the process.
However, long-pressing the power button and turning on the laptop back again gets through without a problem.
That is, until I reboot or shutdown again. Then I have to do the same thing again (let X segfault, pulling power, turning laptop on).
Also, switching graphics and killing X with "sudo pkill X" works most of the time, so you can boot with the DGPU enabled,
login, run the commands "aticonfig --px-igpu; sudo pkill X" and you can log in with your IGPU up and running.
Before shutting down, set the DGPU again with "aticonfig --px-dgpu" and shut down. Repeat steps for happyness until a fix is released.
