Re: Schenker M4S XMG A700 Advanced Gaming Notebook Nvidia GT 425M Optimus

 

Hi guys,

is there no way I get either acpi_call nor switcheroo running on my machine?

Acpi_calls are isn't working. in dmesg there is
VGA switcheroo: detected DSM switching method \_SB_.PCI0.P0P2.PEG
and this method is included in the latest test_off.sh but ... fails.

Switcheroo failing also, echoing "OFF" for example to vga_switcheroo_switch
reacts but brings mouse/screen to freeze after the xserver is restarted. Switching "DIS"
on the console brings the screen to "soft freeze" (can type in commands), echoing
"IGD" brings it back again then.

I would guess my model has no hardware mux? I've checked the kernel log for relevant
messages, there is:

[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 512 MiB GART (aperture)
[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PGRAPH: unsupported chipset, please report!
[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PGRAPH: unknown config: 2/0/0/0, 1
[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: failed to load fuc409d

[drm] Driver supports precise vblank timestamp query.
[drm:intel_dsm_platform_mux_info] *ERROR* MUX INFO call failed
[drm:intel_dsm_platform_mux_info] *ERROR* MUX INFO call failed

I've pasted my dmesg here: http://paste.debian.net/118220/

My problem here is that the Intel HD doesn't recognize my external 2550x monitor (plugged via
HDMI with DVI adaptor), so I would like to use the Nvidia card - could bumblebee provide that?
Turning off the dgpu while on the road wouldn't be bad either ...

By the way, could anybody tell why there is no /proc/acpi/battery available here?

Greetings,
Daniel Stender
