The hybrid graphics spec requires that the SBIOS include the ability to select "integrated", "discrete" or "switchable" graphics, so that OSes other than Windows will work.
There seem to be a few models which didn't follow the spec and therefore don't work with the Linux drivers. It's not a bug, but it is a problem for people who buy those laptops and expect to run something other than Windows on them.
I'm trying to compile a list of offending laptop models to see if there is anything we can do in the driver, assuming we can't get the mfgs to update the BIOS and include the proper selection options.
EDIT - when I was looking around at other sites to see if anyone had found switching options in the M51TA bios I kept running into your posts on those sites as well. Alex pushed some changes into the radeon driver recently which are not directly targeting this problem but might help - can you try the radeon driver from git master and see if that works for you ?
