lspci
To be more precise:
lspci | grep VGA
It may print something wrong (i.e. radeon 6k series. In that case, do an update-pciids in the terminal an run lspci | grep VGA again).
Anyway, thanks for opening this thread. I have the same issue as you (as I have posted in the bug report).

Originally posted by keegdsb View PostNotebook GPUs are often incompatible with AMD's drivers. Nobody forces them to use the same device ids or even build the hardware correctly.If you do want to make the switch possible between your Intel and your AMD graphics cards, then this post is for you. If you do not own a AMD hybrid graphic card, please leave this thread, and post your problems in a thread made for AMD single graphic or Intel single graphic. Edit: The solution seems not to work with ATI 5xxx graphic cards, try at your own risk. Warning: Works only for muxless systems. Warning 2: Check if your BIOS is updated, if not update it ! (You will need Windows).
When I bought my notebook I just hoped it would work. At that time I didn't know that much about hybrid graphics :/
