This is probably because 2.6.37 doesn't have the client reprobe
callback.  asus-switcheroo does this via a crazy little hack.  v2.6.38
should already include it.

Great, thanks for the test.

Have you tried Dave's tree?

He's been doing some optimus enablement in the drm-nvidia-switch
branch.  I don't have anything with optimus.  This module only came
about as a result of picking up a UL30VT as a new personal laptop.
Thanks,
