SOLVED Asus U33Jc Linux nvidia card

 

Hi,

To use the nvidia card on the Asus U33Jc model, install the NVIDIA
binary drivers, reboot, go into the BIOS, and change the "Boot VGA
Controller Selection" from "Windows 7/Vista" to "Others". The nvidia
module should load and you should see the "nvidia" logo as the system
starts up.

To use the intel card, simply install a distro from scratch (eg. Ubunu
10.10), reboot with failsafe mode (failsave x-server), download the
acpi_call module and switch off the graphics card reconfigure the
xserver (it will use the integrated intel card), reboot and everything
should be working. Remember to switch off the nvidia card using the
acpi_call every time you reboot to improve the battery life.

Cheers
