Hi Eric, can you post them using these instructions:

If you have a switchable graphics
laptop, please submit your laptop's DSDT.dsl and SSDT tables as an
attachment to this bug report:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752542

To compile your DSDT and SSDTs information, install if you haven't
already the acpidump and iasl tools:

sudo apt-get install acpidump iasl
or
sudo yum install pmtools iasl

Then run the following commands on a bash terminal:

mkdir ~/acpiinfo ; cd ~/acpiinfo
sudo acpidump > acpidump.txt
# enter password
sudo acpixtract acpidump.txt
ls *.dat | while read i; do iasl -d "${i}"; done && name=`sudo
dmidecode -s system-product-name`
mkdir "${name}" && cp *.dsl "${name}"/ && tar czf "${name}.tar.gz"
"${name}"/ && ls -l "$( pwd )/${name}".tar.gz

This will create a tar.gz file that you can attach to the bug report.
Finally, for posting the information in the bug report, you can check
the laptop and graphics card model identifiers with these commands:

sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name && sudo dmidecode -s system-version
lspci -vnnn | perl -lne 'print if /^\d+\:.+(\[\S+\:\S+\])/' | grep VGA

This information will allow the full development of hybrid graphics
features for Linux. Thanks for your help!
