Awesome! Is this working on L502X and L501X models?
For my L502X I use these commands, and it has been working perfectly since the last 2 months.
Turn nVidia card on: \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._ON Turn nVidia card off: \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._OFFI'm using Bumblebee, with the enablecard/disablecard scripts enabled. Its working perfectly, the card is turned off by calling \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._OFF at bootup, and when I run optirun, \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._ON is passed, the program starts up, and after the program is terminated, the card is switched off again.
Thanks to all who were involved in this effort, because of which my Ubuntu is now able to use the nVidia card as in Windows, with proper power saving as well :)

The DSDTs are here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lpbugreporter/+bug/752542 If there is any ACPI expert in the list, please have a look at those, see if we can find the on/off graphics switch.

So far, it works just fine with the Intel chip, actually compiz capable but, I've got a 550M next to it. So far, I've managed to use the acpi_call module (http://github.com/mkottman/acpi_call) to turn on and off the NVIDIA chip and I can confirm this by the amount of power being drawn from the battery. My question is, with the NVIDIA chip enabled, is there anyway to have the NVIDIA proprietary driver take over? I've tried this with and without the Intel VESA module but, with the same result, a black screen. The monitor does not turn off into a standby state, it simply just display no content. My guess would be that everything must go through the Intel chip before it can hit the NVIDIA and that the NVIDIA chip has to send everything back to the Intel chip due to the monitor being connected to the Intel chip. Ideally I'd like to just have the NVIDIA chip always on with the NVIDIA driver handling things but, I suppose if it was this easy, there would be no need for the bumblebee project. Is something like this even currently doable?
