I'm not sure to understand the use of this new module: does it just
switch off the nvidia card? In this case, I don't understand the
difference with the old module (when used without parameters it disables
the nvidia card).
I guess it switches off the nvidia card only if the hardware button is
switched in stamina mode. Is it correct?

Thanks,
Mario
