<pre>I have the same problem of OP (tiagdtd-lava) on Xubuntu 15.04 on Acer Aspire
4820TG with Radeon HD 5650. GUI freezes every 6-10 seconds for a whole second.
Every time it freezes, fan speeds up and all of these lines are printed in
kern.log: <a href="http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Rd63ZvHh">http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Rd63ZvHh</a>
Kernel version is:
Linux TIMELINEX 3.19.0-15-generic #15-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 16 23:32:37 UTC 2015
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Previosly Xubuntu 14.04.2 LTS was installed on the same laptop with no problems
regarding X, Radeon or switchable graphics. Graphics switch was completely
automatic (DynOn/DynOff) in 14.04.2, but now in 15.04 is not.
I didn't tested kernel patches because I'm not practical about kernel
recompiling (as you could guess when you read I'm a Xubuntu user). But I tried
some kernel parameters and these are the results:
1) pci=noacpi OR noacpi
No more freezes, but external USB mouse (and maybe other devices) stopped
working at all :(
2) radeon.runpm=0
As suggested here <a href="https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79701">https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79701</a> and here
<a href="https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72701">https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72701</a> this solve freezes and does
not stop external devices to work. Anyway, as reported here
<a href="https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72701">https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72701</a> by klod, this reduces battery
life and increase internal temperature, because it does not turn off discrete
graphic:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
0:DIS-Audio: :Pwr:0000:01:00.1
1:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0
2:DIS: :Pwr:0000:01:00.0
If I try to manually turn off discrete grahics using:
# echo "DIGD" > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
# echo "OFF" > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
But as soon as I run these commands, in kern.log these lines are printed:
<a href="http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=WwSgEsEt">http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=WwSgEsEt</a> (and it repeats at regular intervals),
fan speeds up again and does not stop, system became instable, network stops
working and system shut down hangs!
Is there a change I can fix this, or it's better if I downgrade to 14.04.2 LTS?</pre>
