Some updates...

I compiled kernel 2.6.37 (on Slackware-current), and at first glance it 
seems that vgaswitcheroo might work...
After booting it up i ended up having gray screen with stripes, and 
after that it was stuck on completly white screen.
So first thing i tried was blacklisting i915 module, and then it worked, 
and i got to X, but consoles were no longer working.
Here is relevant dmesg output after successful boot: 
http://dev.slackverse.org/asus_n73jf/2.6.37.nouveau.intel.dmesg

Output of /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch:
0: :Pwr:0000:01:00.0
1:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0

From what i can tell, intel card was selected, and i tried to echo DDIS 
> switch, but i got this:

[   45.780336] vga_switcheroo: client 1 refused switch
[   45.780338] vga_switcheroo: setting delayed switch to client 1
[   47.780356] vga_switcheroo: processing delayed switch to 1

Any ideas what to try next?

Best regards,
mario
