I did try the very latest kernel (2.6.37-0.rc5.git2.1.bz638912.fc15) and 
suspend to RAM works for me :-)) I didn't try suspend to disk yet.

However, I still see both graphic cards with "lspci". Is there no other 
way other than flashing the BIOS to correct this ? I'm hesitating to do 
this on a brand new machine, and I don't know whether this will affect 
Windows 7 (that I honestly don't use too much - only to view BR ;-)

My switch is on "stamina" not "auto", but no light is on

thanks,
