Hi Anestis, Sorry for the delay. Sure, here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/init.d/switch-nvidia-intel script. The script uses a quick & dirty detection and depending on the result it toggles between "Device_intel" and "Device_nvidia" in the Screen section. PS: You need to launch the "switch-nvidia-intel" script before launching X11, of course.
