Re: Dell XPS 15z

 

Actually i meant acpi_call, not bumblebee, since I didn't try that yet.
I have no need for the nvidia gpu for now, and the SB intel card is more
than fast enough for my needs. So just shutting it down altogether is
fine by me. Just wanted to make the out-of-the-box experience better for
others buying the same laptop later on :)

I have uploaded my DSDT here though:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/lpbugreporter/+bug/752542/comments/151.

So my question should have been "How come vgaswitcheroo works but i
can't get acpi_call to do the same" :)

Kind regards,

Bart
