Re: asus switcheroo

 

Hi,

I'm trying this module in my asus n53s but i'm not getting the folder in
debugfs.

I amb on a debian system, which is not ubuntu, but it's very close to it, so
I think the install script has been correct. But, what I get is that the
module is not loeaded on start-up neither nouveau module.

If a modprobe them I get them loaded without an error:

root@marcus-asus-laptop:/# modprobe asus-switcheroo
root@marcus-asus-laptop:/# modprobe nouveau

But if I try to access the folder of debug:

root@marcus-asus-laptop:/# ls /sys/kernel/debug/asus-switcheroo
ls: cannot access /sys/kernel/debug/asus-switcheroo: No such file or
directory

In this folder I had other folders, so is not a mount problem:
root@marcus-asus-laptop# ls /sys/kernel/debug/
acpi  bdi  bluetooth  dri  extfrag  gpio  hid  ieee80211  kprobes  mce
regulator  sched_features  tracing  usb  wakeup_sources  x86

Am I doning something wrong? I'm a developer, so if I can help in anybody...


Regards ;)
