Re: Testers needed - intel/nvidia nouveau working with github.com/awilliam module

 

Alex,

I got same behavior with or without asus-switcheroo: echo "DIS" gave me a
blank screen. echo "IGD" restores the screen.
I believe that LVDS isn't connecting to nvidia card.

With your new update, asus-switceroo compiles in kernel 2.6.37.6.

Are there some way to help you develop OPTIMUS support?
