Hi... i use grep rate /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state command, but with

echo '\_SB.PCI0.PEG1.GFX0._ON' > /proc/acpi/call
echo '\_SB.PCI0.PEG1.GFX0._OFF' > /proc/acpi/call

i have no change in battery consumption.

I would like to turn off Nvidia card. Installing nvidia drivers i can
use only nvidia VGA, changing bios settings, but i don't like this way
of using my laptop
