[Bug 117131] vga_switcheroo does not switch IGP -> DIS ( IGP == i915 , DIS == radeon )

--- Comment #20 from Jason Vas Dias <jason.vas.dias@gmail.com> ---
When I look at linux 4.5.0 boot dmesg log messages like :

[    3.115380] vga_switcheroo: enabled
[    3.115463] ATPX version 1, functions 0x00000033
[    3.115541] [drm] DMAR active, disabling use of stolen memory


I think 'you lie, Linux' !

vga_switcheroo can never be enabled on this platform because 
it has no MUX , and the logs above show the quality of the 
ACPI ATPX support.

I think this is the core linux relevant issue here - plus, I think it
should in the case where only one card has control of the actual
laptop display:

something in the kernel should see that only one device has the actual
laptop display connected and cause an error for operations that cannot
be performed like vga_switcheroo or putting the radeon device into
graphics console mode.

My primary question is : How do I refer to this device where the actual laptop
LCD is connected in xorg.conf ? 

PCI:0000:00:02.0,olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=none:owns=io+mem

[    3.116251] device: 'i2c-14': device_add



Where in xorg.conf / on the X-server command line can the fact that I want
driver X to control output Y be specified ? 

  Do I have to use a config like :

Section "Device"
  Identifier "Intel"
  Driver "intel"
  Option "Monitor-eDP-1" "eDP" 
  Option "Monitor-DisplayPort-0" "eDP"
EndSection


What are the precise values of X and Y in my case ? 
Guessing:  X:"intel" Y: "eDP-1" / "EDP1" /  "DP-1" / "DP1" / "VGA-1" / "VGA1" ?
