Is the u43jc running with Optimus... or just regular switchable graphics???

Emne: [Hybrid-graphics-linux] enabling nvidia Asus U43JC by blacklisting intel chip 

One of the ASUS U/UL series Linux users has found a way to enable the 
nvidia drivers by blacklisting the intel chip. 

Can people confirm this is working for similar models?

There's a workaround for some people. I have the u43jc and you can use 
the 320m by installing the nvidia drivers, blacklisting the intel chip 
and rebooting. If you don't disable the intel chip, you'll get stuck 
on the Checking battery state... 

Only problem is that the nvidia card is the only one running and the 
battery gets slurped up pretty quick. 

If it doesn't work, you can boot in safe graphics and reset everything. 

I guess we'll just have to watch closely for updated nv drivers
