Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the below, much appreciated.

Do you own a 1215N?

What distro are you running?

Word goes around that Ubuntu 11.04 will support the Nvidia card that's in
the 1215N with the nouveau driver.
I'll try this in the near future, but I'm wondering if switching will be
also possible;

As in switching off and back on the Nvidia card and actually use it :)

thnx,

Jonas
