Re: please report successful apci_call on nvidia optimus laptops

 

Hi guys,

Here's for the Asus *U35JC* that works successfully with
\_SB.PCI0.PEG1.GFX0._OFF saving ~ 3654 mW !!! (see test below)

Noticed the revision change in the lspci output from "rev a2" to "rev ff".
Any one else noticed this? If someone has a clue why, I'd be happy to be
educated :-)

============================================
[root@optimus acpi_call]# cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
