I'm not sure if I already understand it completely. ;-)
Did you find those calls out from the acpidump? Should they already
solve the problem?

I created the files cardon and cardoff with the one-lines but "sudo
make load" still doesn't work with the same error.

Also I started Windows7 and used the nvidia card before I booted back
into archlinux before I tested this. So the card should have been
"on".

Should it already work or can I help with some more information/testing?

If I can help with my hardware, just tell me.
