Re: Issues with Asus N61Jv and Nvidia

 

Someone reported being able to switch off the nvidia card on a Asus
N71 model, but yours is the first report that I know for a N61Jv
laptop. It's weird you get such different results with two models I
would have guessed are very similar.

I would say it's worth for a ACPI expert to compare the two DSDT.dsl
tables, maybe there is some black magic in there we are ignoring...

Cheers
