Questions and answers
How to disable GPU ATI Radeon in VPCEA series,? Or it can't be disable ?
The ATI Radeon GPU in the Sony VPCEA series cannot be fully disabled through software alone if the BIOS does not provide an option to switch to integrated graphics. The VPCEA series lacks advanced fan control support (aiofand does not support it), and the system typically uses the dedicated ATI GPU by default. To attempt disabling the GPU:
1. Check BIOS/UEFI settings for a graphics mode option (e.g., switchable graphics or integrated only). If available, select integrated.
2. If no BIOS option exists, you may try blacklisting the ATI driver or using kernel parameters to prevent the GPU from initializing, but this may cause system instability or boot issues.
3. Using open-source drivers instead of the proprietary FGLRX driver may reduce GPU usage and heat but will not fully disable the GPU.
If none of these options work, hardware modification or using another laptop may be necessary.

How to disable GPU ati radeon on VPCEA series
To disable the ATI Radeon GPU on a Sony VPCEA Series laptop, you can try the following steps in a Linux environment:
1. Download the latest AMD graphics drivers for "Notebook Graphics / Radeon HD Series / Mobility Radeon HD 5xxx Series / Linux X86."
2. Run the installer using the command:
```
sh ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run
```
3. Initialize the configuration with:
```
aticonfig --initial -f
```
This may help reduce GPU temperature and fan noise, effectively limiting GPU activity. Full GPU disablement may require BIOS or hardware-level changes, which are not detailed in the provided context.
