Trying to enable hybrid graphics on a HP Pavilion DV7-4142eg:

lspci -vnnn | perl -lne 'print if /^\d+\:.+(\[\S+\:\S+\])/' | grep VGA
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc M880G [Mobility Radeon HD 4200] [1002:9712] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Manhattan [Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series] [1002:68e0] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Using a self-compiled kernel 2.6.36.2, the dmesg says

VGA switcheroo: detected switching method \_SB_.PCI0.AGP_.VGA_.ATPX handle

but using the "acpi call" method results in kernel Oops

Please find attached the DSDT table.

By the way, it is not possible to change the display brightness via the keyboard buttons for this purpose.
