Hooray !! :)
Your hybrid graphics card configured correctly.. everything seems to work as it should.
As for the fan.. watch it 1-2 days and if still make a lot of noise come back , I will give you something to add , for extra power-saving with the intel card. (this card you will use mostly).
And for your temperatures , do not bother for 2-3-4 degrees.. My temperatures are 50 to 60 . Do not forget it is a Laptop. Very good temperatures.
Thanks
Thanks a lot for this supportive help!
Excellent, I'll live this thread open for a few days when I tell you how this goes.
Thank you !
Hi again
She keeps complaining. It goes like 10 seconds per minute. It vibrates and makes a noticeable (not too loud) noise.
Also, using kile I hear a low sound (like a fast clock ticking) every time I press a key :( Is that normal?
Thanks!
Give the results ofand we will try an option for the Intel card that sets the card in a low power state when its idle.Code:cat /etc/default/grub
Cannot go further , I don't know something else except this parameter.
Maybe you should look the hardware .
OK, here the result

nahuel@nahuel:~$
First give this command (copy-paste from here)
To check the change give this commandCode:sudo sed 's/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.i915_enable_rc6=1"/' -i /etc/default/grub
The result must beCode:cat /etc/default/grub | grep GRUB_CMDLINE
Then runCode:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.i915_enable_rc6=1"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
and reboot.Code:sudo update-grub
Thanks
OK
I did it, the result afterwards was the same as yours.
BTW, what does this command mean? What changed?
code:
Code:sudo sed 's/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.i915_enable_rc6=1"/' -i /etc/default/grub
However, at least at the moment I find everything unchanged...
Thank you anyway!!! You're great!
Cannot do anything else. If this is a hardware problem (fan) you should check it.
The command changes this lineto thisCode:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
This is the parameter I told you about the power-save with Intel card. We enabled this through the boot-loader (grub) in the kernel. By default is disabled.Code:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.i915_enable_rc6=1"
Thanks
Hi my friend,
Do you know how to truly set the screen brightness for once and for ever?
It changes wildly, it increases a lot. I can't seem to find the proper commands, I found this to set the brightness down:
but after a while it increases again...Code:echo 300 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
The keys Fn+F5 and Fn+F6 work fine, but the lowest they can get is still too bright, that's why I'm using the backlight command on the terminal.
Any hints?
Thanks
