Hi Guys.. this is my DSDT.dsl
my graphics chipset is Switchable ATI Radeon 5650/Intel... take a look at this:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Redwood [Radeon HD 5600 Series] [1002:68c1] (rev ff) (prog-if ff)

i can use vgaswitcheroo with this command:
echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
for switching off the ATI card and save some battery power...

but i would like to be informed about the way to use both cards when it needs (intel for low graphics request and ATI Off.....and ATI for high performances graphics request and intel OFF ..... something like happen in windows...)

thanks in advance..
