["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Stuart Bishop, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Poor battery life on UL30VT due to NVidia graphics active

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The ASUS UL30VT has two graphics cards like many modern laptops.
  Unfortunately, the higher powered NVidia g210m is active by default,
  chewing through an additional 4 watts of power and reducing battery
  life by a few hours.

  This will be a non-issue when Bug #312756 is fixed (graphics card hot
  switch). In the interim, laptop users need some way of disabling high
  powered graphics cards to conserve power. This is not possible in the
  ASUS UL30VT.

  A partial solution is available at
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1366605 which provides a
  package that disables the NVidia card. Unfortunately, the card is
  reactivated when resuming from suspend and not enabled by default on
  boot.
