Hi Christine,

Nice anecdote :) Can you confirm that bbswitch functions properly? I.e. does
writing ON/OFF enable/disable the card?

Why would you want to enable the video card on boot? You can't use it
anyway (unless your BIOS allows for it). See also the question on support of
Optimus technology: http://askubuntu.com/q/36930/6969
