Hybrid graphics - MSI FX420

Question

I have a MSI FX420 with Intel HD Graphics 3000 and HD Radeon 6470M. on Windows I can switch the card, but on Ubuntu I think it only runs on Radeon and drain all the battery. is there a way to possible disable the Radeon and use only the Intel HD on Ubuntu?

if you need any more information, just ask.
