My notebook is HP ProBook 4530s-LH306EA. I have two video cards discrete(AMD Radeon HD 6490M) and integrated.

Today I have installed Ubuntu 12.10, and meet the problem that my computer become very hot (Jupiter shows from 75-85 degrees). I have understood that the problem in video card, so I have tried to switch off discrete using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
But I don't know how to switch it forever, because after computer restarts discrete is switched on.

And I cannot understand why there is so big problem with this video cards? On windows exists program, that knows which of this two video cards to use.

PS I have missed step with backup and start installing, but then occur error: "One or more tools required for installation cannot be found on the system. Install the required tools before installing the fglrx driver. Optionally, run the installer with --force option to install without the tools. Forcing install will disable AMD hardware acceleration and may make your system unstable. Not recommended. See /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log for more details"

In log file is written:

Check if system has the tools required for installation.

fglrx installation requires that the system have kernel headers.  /lib/modules/3.5.0-17-generic/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be found on this system.

PSS I have run with --force option and get:

Supported adapter detected.

Check if system has the tools required for installation.

fglrx installation requires that the system have kernel headers.  /lib/modules/3.5.0-17-generic/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be found on this system.

fglrx installation is being forced. Installation will proceed without the required tools on the system.

Uninstalling any previously installed drivers.

If you cannot install/use AMD Catalyst Driver (like me) either from Ubuntu repositories or manually from their website, you can automatically turn the discreet graphics on and off when you switch between AC and Battery power supply by simply adding a small executable script file named 11_hybrid_graphics_switch into the folder /etc/pm/power.d with the following contents:

#!/bin/bash

if on_ac_power; then

    echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch &

else

    echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch &

fi

exit 0
