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

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

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.
