Answer: Yes it does. I tried that a while ago already, but can't (don't want to) use that for regular running, because the radeon-card makes the laptop-battery ruin out too fast. I read also that there's a patched/hacked BIOS somewhere that allows to switch off the radeon-card via BIOS, but if it can be solved with software I'd prefer that ;)
