Alienware M11x R2
A01

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation Device [10de:0caf] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

This is the second realease of this model and it features Nvidia Optimus
technology so I can't enable/disable discret graphics in the bios as the
previous one.

I don't use Ubuntu (just a matter of choice), instead I'm running Fedora 13
Hope this information would help developers.

If I install Nvidia propietary drivers I got stucked because I think the Intel controller is the one running.
I can't adjust the brightness using the Fn key.

If you need something else just ask.
