It's late now, but I'll try to get a proper debug log of the working and
failing cases tomorrow.

From the hacked kernel (after fixing vga_switcheroo_enable() not to do:
event.info = client->fb_info;
fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_EVENT_REMAP_ALL_CONSOLE, &event);
if client->fb_info is NULL)...

Without switching to IGD at startup...

The general problem, at least for the case of booting to DIS and then switching to IGD, is that the mode for the internal display isn't correct, so it stays black.

It could get the right mode via DDC but this line is muxed as well. 0x728 controls the DDC mux, writing 1 lets the IGD access it, 2 is the DIS.

So what happens in dmesg-boot-to-DIS is that the intel card can't get the mode via DDC and falls back to the garbage mode from VBT.
Interestingly, there is a intel VBT on your MBP8,3, but it doesn't contain the right modes. On my MBP6,2 there isn't a VBT at all and it disables LVDS altogether if 0x728 isn't switched at boot.

Manually switching the mux is a bit messy, so I'm not too surprised that it's blank in dmesg-boot-to-IGD.

The gmux code you're using is a bit outdated, but if you use git://kernel.ubuntu.com/sforshee/linux.git gmux-switcheroo and connect an external display (I tested it with a DP one) you should be able to boot to DIS and switch to the IGD and get output on the external display.

This leaves the problem of how to get i915 the right mode. Generally, there are two options:

- Find a way so it gets the right mode when it initializes the LVDS. This could be done by switching the DDC mux during lvds intialization. See lock_ddc.patch for a crude prototype that works on my laptop if I'm lucky and apple_gmux gets loaded before i915 and nouveau doesn't try to use DDC at the same time.
Another way would be to get the right EDID without mux switching by querying either the DIS driver or EFI (if you boot into the rEFIt shell you can verify it's there, see http://andreas.meetr.de/efi/log/edid.txt, to get it search for EdidDiscovered/EdidActive and dump it with dmem). But to use this, we need a way to know which display this corresponds to and I'm not sure how to do that.

- Make vga_switcheroo reprobe handle this. This would mean that we start with a possibly broken mode and resize it once the mux get's switched through vga_switcheroo. I'm not sure if thats a good idea.

I'd love to get any input on this, this is the main problem that's keeping apple_gmux switching from working really well.
