Hi Marco,
unfortunately there's nothing "ready" for your laptop. I have your same
problem and I've tried to find something working with the precious help
of some people in the list, but as I said I didn't manage to get
anything useful...we don't have any BIOS option di enable/disable the
discrete card and when we tried to get something from the DSDT table
we couldn't solve anything. I'm not an expert at all but I'm quite
convinced that the key should be there so if you have time you could
try to open it and read through just to see if you can get some hint!

Bye

Marco
