Hi Marco, 

I guess by "there" you mean the DST,right? 
Now, I am not familiar with this technology (I have bought this laptop
very quickly since my old laptop was stolen last week!) so any pointer
to some "literature" would be nice. For example: does a list of all this
acpi method exists or do we have to proceed blindly?

Another thing I don't understand is which one of the two cards I can
turn off: the nvidia or the GMA? Do I get to choose or one, eg. the GMA,
is always on, and I can turn off only the nvidia, if we get this to
work?

Pressuring Samsung, I guess, is not an option here, right? (I mean, the
users base of this laptop using linux is obviously marginal)

Thank you!
