Update:
Okay so I've run through the procedure on:
http://asusm51ta-with-linux.blogspot.com/ ...
Is there an easy way to determine if my discrete card has been
activated... checking the proprietary drivers via the "Additional
Drivers" would seem to indicate that "No proprietary draivers are in
use on this system"... is that accurate?
Do I need to activate the hardware drivers prior to running the
switcheroo script?
*
How do I determine if the script is actually working?*

Hey Folks,
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W500 that I just installed Linux Mint 10
(based on Ubuntu 10.10) on and would like to get David Airlie's
hybrid "switcheroo" working. He mentions my hardware configuration
specifically as one of the ATPX methods supported in his kernel
patch...

"4 combinations of systems typically exist - with 2 ACPI methods.
Intel/ATI - Lenovo W500/T500 - use ATPX ACPI method
ATI/ATI - some ASUS - use ATPX ACPI Method
Intel/Nvidia - - use _DSM ACPI method
Nvidia/Nvidia - - use _DSM ACPI method."
mine being the "Intel/ATI - Lenovo W500/T500 - use ATPX ACPI
method" and additionally I've found a guide detailing how to
implement this on Ubuntu 10.10 (32 bit):
http://asusm51ta-with-linux.blogspot.com/
My question:
Since the guide is specifically for an ASUSM51Ta with an "ATI/ATI"
hybrid gpu configuration running the 32 bit version of Ubuntu 10.10;
*What changes might I anticipate needing to make to the procedure
detailed in the guide above if I want to implement the hybrid
"switcheroo" on an "Intel/ATI" hybrid gpu configuration running on
the 64 bit version of Ubuntu 10.10?*
Thanks!
Han
