display-settings auto
In this mode the script will look for a .vga-selector file in the local users homedirs (if it finds multiple files the newest will be used) and executes the acpi_call for the desired option (Intel,Nvidia or Optimus mode) and will prepare the xorg configuration for the next boot. If it does not find any .vga-selector file it will default to Intel mode.
