I have a mecer W170HN, a South African brand machine with an NVidia and
intel chipset.

I ran the acpi_call test and I get a "works!" on the last try. The light
that shows whether the nvidia card is in use switches off and the laptop fan
goes quiet too.

$ sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name
W150HNM/W170HN
$ sudo dmidecode -s system-version
0.1
$ lspci -vnnn | perl -lne 'print if /^\d+\:.+(\[\S+\:\S+\])/' | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation
Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09)
(prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation Device
[10de:0df4] (rev ff) (prog-if ff)

I tried the bumblebee script but get [VGL] ERROR: Could not open display :1.
I tried different choices in the script but I'm not really sure which
options to use.
