Same combination here, the problems is still there however... It seems somewhat caused by pulseaudio I think.
In fact, if once lightdm starts I go to tty1 → sudo service lighdm stop → sudo killall pulseaudio → echo OFF| sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch #switch to integrated card Evertyhing will work since then... Otherwise I'm getting similar errors, still on 13.10: [ 489.177732] hda-intel 0000:01:00.1: Disabling via VGA-switcheroo [ 489.297129] hda-intel 0000:01:00.1: Cannot lock devices!

Due to the fact that the privative AMD drivers doesn't work with this particular combination of GPU (muxed system) I am stuck with open source drivers and vga_switcheroo to choose between them. However since the upgrade to 13.04, I can't switch to the dedicated GPU as I could in 12.10. When I activate the AMD card and logout of the active session (in order to kill X, as needed by vgaswitcheroo), I can't get to lightdm and I get this message: "vga_switcheroo: client 1 refused switch" and "vga_switcheroo: client 101 refused switch". After this, the only option is to drop to TTY and restart the system. Also, possible related, when shutting down the notebook I get a lot of "atombios stuck executing... for more than 5 secs" errors. Both GPUs are working fine in Windows and, as said, used to work fine in Ubuntu 12.10.
