Hi people

my testing with acpicall module method

System: Vostro 3700
Version: A10

Basically a core i5-460m with a nvidia gt330m. If xorg.conf is present, the
machine does not boot. when absent i believe it boots using the integrated
card.

so using test_off.sh

\_SB.PCI0.P0P1.PEGP._OFF: works!

when i checked with on battery power, this seems to indicate that the
discrete card is switched of. (discharge rate in mA went from about 2500mA
to 1700mA) but I am really not sure how this can help me boot and use the
discrete card only in ubuntu.

vga_switcheroo method i have not tried yet :(
