Hi,

thanks for this group, since yesterday I'm also a victim of the hybrid
graphics (Dell Vostro 3700, i.e. Core i5 + nVidia) of which I didn't
know that I might suffer from before my buy...

What is the current state of the hybrid graphics under Linux?

I can find lots of ressources (like the
http://linux-hybrid-graphics.blogspot.com/) but no real solution nor a
road map towards it.
What I think I have understood is that the "DSDT ON/OFF" works for a few
- - but (and here I'm unsure if I got that right) it is only to disable
the extra graphic chip and to use only the "internal" one.

My interest lies in the opposite: as the laptop is used as an desktop
replacement I don't care about power consumtion but I do want to use the
nVidia chip all the time (with the proprietary drivers...).

Should I still look into the "DSDT ON/OFF" stuff?

Or is this topic still a big mess and I need to wait a few months?
How can I help to improofe the situation? Still send a DSDT?

Thanks,
Christian

PS: I though I read somewhere that the VGA switcheroo comes with Ubuntu
10.10 - but I can't find it. Did I do something wrong?
