Hi everybody,

I own a Dell Vostro 3500; after trying several random methods in the
test_off.sh script (the standard ones didn't work), i got:

# ./test_off.sh
Trying \_SB.PCI0.P0P1.PEGP._OFF: works!

I can see battery discharges slower, too.

I have absolutely no experience in kernel hacking, so maybe it's not
interesting, but after running the script I can no longer load the
proprietary nvidia module, which is good I think (obviously, there
wasn't any problem before the execution of the script):

# modprobe nvidia
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia
(/lib/modules/2.6.36/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko): No such device


Usual info:

# dmidecode -s system-product-name
Vostro 3500

# dmidecode -s system-version
Not Specified

# lspci -vnnn | perl -lne 'print if /^\d+\:.+(\[\S+\:\S+\])/' | grep
