Switching in rc.local don't work for me (acer timelineX) but I guess
there are also some bugs in the bios.

I switch and power off unused vga in userspace, and I logout/login for
restarting X server.

Obviously I set "switchable" in bios.

For some weird reason after I rewrote the local script so that it switched
to discrete card and not integrated, it worked. How do I check, which cards
are being used right now?

install debugfs. 

in /etc/fstab :
none /sys/kernel/debug debugfs defaults 0 0

and : 
# mount -a

for use it with your user, in /etc/rc.local :
# chown your_user:your_user /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

and now, identify your card :
$ lspci |grep -i vga

get status :
cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

switch to ati :
echo DDIS > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

switch to intel :
echo DIGD > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

power off unused :
echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

power on unused :
echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

make scripts ^_^;

best regards
