As noted in the cover letter, this will only work on pre-retinas and only if the apple-gmux module loads before the DRM drivers. You can try to ensure the latter by editing modules.dep, or grab this tarball which contains reprobing patches on top: http://wunner.de/mbp_switcheroo_v3_reprobe_4.3-rc4pre.tar.gz Best regards, Lukas
