when I cat vga_switcheroo I get the following:

    0:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0
    1:DIS: :Off:0000:01:00.0

But I can hear the fan running and the battery time is really low.

Is there anyway to permanently shutdown my radeon in linux? I already tried putting "blacklist radeon" in the blacklist.conf and "modprobe radeon" in the rc.local.
