lHi,
I ve a brand new m11xr2 laptop wich have an intel+nvidia chip (optimus).

I want to experiment several things:
- Make nouveau work
    currently loading the module worked on archlinux (2.6.34) but on FC
and ubuntu it fails with:
    [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: setting  latency
timer to 64
    [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Detected an NV50 generation card
(0x0a3780a2)
    [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Attempting to load BIOS image from
PRAMIN
    [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: ... BIOS signature not found
    [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Attempting to load BIOS image from PROM
    [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: ... BIOS signature not found
    [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Attempting to load BIOS image from
PCIROM
    nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Invalid ROM contents
    [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: ... BIOS signature not found
    [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Attempting to load BIOS image from ACPI
    [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: ... BIOS signature not found
    [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: No valid BIOS image found

- make the nvidia blob driver work
    As i read on Dave Airlie blog, it may be possible to write a little
piece of code to do switching from intel to nvidia blob as it is done
with nouveau, that's why i want nouveau to work prior to this to
validate the experimentation. If someone give me some documentation, i
can even try do to it myself.

I ve posted on the launchpad bug the related informations like DSDT.
I can also join if someone want them the SSDT tables

- Disabling the nvidia card using the m11xr2hack module works fine with
a 2hours battery gain.

To resume my questions are mainly:
  - Does anyone with an m11x have got the nvidia chip working ?
  - Am i going on the right way with the vga_switchroo -> nvidia blob ?
