Merry christmas list and all 1015pn fans, By analysing Asus GraphicSwitch utiliy I managed to figure out how the graphic switch works so rebooting shouldn't be neccessary anymore.
There are 2 relevant modes: 1 = Ion only (meaning only nvidia chip is visible to linux) 3 = Optimus (meaning nvidia + intel are visible to linux and nvidia chip can be turned off) You have to set mode 3 (Optimus) on every boot or else mode will be reset to mode 1 (this is also done by GraphicSwitch under Windows). To set mode to 3 do echo "\OSGS 0x03" > /proc/acpi/call this will affect your next boot. To check your current mode do echo "\AMW0.DSTS 0x90013" > /proc/acpi/call cat /proc/acpi/call Mine for example is 0x30003 meaning - first byte 0x03 means mode 3 (returnvalue &= 3) - logical AND with 0x10000 and right-bitshift 16 bytes gives whether Optimus is supported (1=true, 0=false): here 1 Please confirm. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~hybrid-graphics-linux Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~hybrid-graphics-linux More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
