[Surfing <onlinesurfing@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
I have an Asus K53SV (SandyBridge IGP + Nvidia GT540m) with Ubuntu 11.04 
x64.
I already posted about a problem of the switchoff (acpi_call) script. It 
works but my system fan starts running at max speed ...... (can't 
understand why).

So I tried the asus-switcheroo. I'm just interested in switching off the 
Nvidia card to reduce power consumption.
In the readme I can see that the installation can be done running "sudo 
make" and "sudo make install-ubuntu", but after that I can't find 
anything in /sys/kernel/debug.

So I tried doing the commands reported in the blog:////
///make/
/modprobe -r nouveau/
/insmod ./asus-switcheroo.ko/
/modprobe nouveau/

After that I found it in /sys/kernel/debug/ so I executed the command: 
"echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch".
Well...after executing it, nothing happened... the power consumption is 
still high and when I reboot the vgaswitcheroo folder disappears under 
the /sys/kernel/debug/ folder and
obviously the power consumption is still high.

Any suggestion?
Thanks
