Hi there. 
I'm getting frustrated since I can't switch to nVidia card via
vgaswitcheroo in Natty. All my driver installation tests where
unsuccessful and I've got nothing useful to report since i will just
state the obvious: "Optimus is not supported". I really want a
functional graphics card but I can't even test or throw any useful
material.

What should I do next? Just give up on this prop-drivers test group or
stay giving negative results? (or I'm just to newbie to tell :S) This
thing is a major issue cos almost every new laptop is shipped with some
sort of hybrid graphics.

Stop the complaining, my "findings": In maverick when I install the
propietary driver it just don't get to the GUI but boots-up normally
into the CLI. Here in Natty things gone worse, the CLI does not boot
either the GUI. The Xorg log ends with the same error message than in
maverick but the curious thing is when I start Natty in recovery mode,
with low graphics GUI the nvidia module is active on the kernel. Any
ideas?

Thanks in advance and i'm still available for testing and returning
failed installs :P
