Notes
This laptop has two Graphics Cards with a switch button: "stamina" for Intel Card and "speed" for nVidia Card. The only way that works right now in both Linux and Windows is to reboot the machine. Just when the BIOS is restarting, switch to the other Card.
I have two xorg.conf files with different driver section:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.stamina
Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Corporation Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller" Driver "i810" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.speed
Section "Device" Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NVIDIA Default Card" Driver "nvidia" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection
and my rc.local script put the correct file at boot time, look like this:
# # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # By default this script does nothing. if [ "`/usr/bin/lspci|grep -c nVidia`" = "1" ]; then cp -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf.speed /etc/X11/xorg.conf else cp -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf.stamina /etc/X11/xorg.conf fi exit 0
