    [ubuntu] Re: Linux on alienware-m11x?

    yeah, I've tried vga-switcheroo. It doesn't work for nvidia cards yet, just ATI. The author doesn't have access to an nvidia machine. I'm guessing the release of optimus will also decrease the...

    Not that I've seen. You can only force the nvidia card to be the main one.

    [ubuntu] Re: Linux on alienware-m11x?

    It's because both the intel and the nvidia graphic card are active. Until the gpu_switcheroo works for this model we won't get near the same battery life. I'm sure there's a few tweaks to get some...

    Looks like Dave Airlie has been working on creating a way to switch the graphics without rebooting. He calls this vga_switcheroo, which looks to be merged into the next kernel, 2.6.34. Looks like...

    Ok, I have Ubuntu running on it. It looks like switchable = Intel and discrete = NVIDIA. If you try to install the nvidia closed source driver and it's set to switchable it will cause a kernel...
