Re: please report successful apci_call on nvidia optimus laptops

 

Same results here - using " \_SB.PCI0.PEG1.GFX0._OFF" drops the power
usage on my U35J (as measured by BAT0/state) from 22358 mW to 15904 mW
(30%!). Still using a lot more power than yours though Olivier (?).

Also for reference my nvidia card becomes "rev ff" in lspci too...
