nvidia switch on/off

 

Hi,

A question for phrizek and Asus UL80Vt users:

Have you guys investigated if the nvidia graphics card can be switched off?

All forum posts seem to indicate it's not possible through the BIOS,
but has anyone
tried any other methods?

Also, it would be able if you could post a DSDT table here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/312756

To compile your DSDT information, install if you haven't already the
acpidump and iasl tools:
sudo apt-get install acpidump iasl
You can check the model and generation of you laptop with this command:
sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name

Then run the following commands:

sudo acpidump > acpidump.txt
sudo acpixtract acpidump.txt
iasl -d DSDT.dat

This will create a DSDT.dsl file that you can attach to the bug
report. This information will allow the developers to fully implement
the hybrid graphics features for Linux.
