Comment 20 for bug 947354

I have found that you need to do the following:

manuallly chown of brightness and vga switcheroo files and do not include
the chown commands in the rc.local as it does nothing.

remove the gnome-session-quit command from the "switchcards.sh" as it
creates a log out message if I want to switch cards

additionally to the info provided I have added the following command to the
start up applications, as my pc always boots with both cards turned on:

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