Acer Aspire 5820TG graphics not supported #133

I tried to enable bbswitch on my Acer Aspire 5820TG. As stated at notebookcheck.net it uses an ATI GPU, the Mobility Radeon HD5650, or an Intel GMA HD graphics solution, incorporated in the Intel CPU.

When I try to enable the module it says:

[root@notebook ~]# modprobe bbswitch load_state=0 unload_state=1
[XXX] bbswitch: No suitable _DSM call found.
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert ´bbswitch´: No such device

Here some infos on my system:

[user@notebook ~]$ uname -r
4.6.2-1-ARCH
[user@notebook ~]$ pacman -Q bbswitch
bbswitch 0.8-50
[user@notebook ~]$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advance Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Madison [Mobility Radeon HD 5650/5750 / 6530M/6550M]

If there is any more information I can provide I'll be happy to do so.

Hi, we don’t support AMD/ATI hybrid setups (PowerXpress) at all. But FWIK, it should work seemlessly with PRIME at least.
