After system upgraded (trusty, 20150114) and installed the proprietary driver listed in "Addional Drivers", the system still tells "AMD Radeon(TM) R2 Graphics" is in use, but there is no way to switch to the other discrete graphic card.

AMD Mullings/Beema platforms do not support switchable graphics, this is by design.
