If you're talking about these: ACPI Error: Needed [Buffer/String/Package], found [Integer] f435c690 (20101013/exresop-590) ACPI Exception: AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE, While resolving operands for [OpcodeName unavailable] (20101013/dswexec-460) ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.VGA_._DSM] (Node f4830ac8), AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE (20101013/psparse-537) failed to evaluate _DSM: 12291 ACPI Error: Needed [Buffer/String/Package], found [Integer] f435c600 (20101013/exresop-590) ACPI Exception: AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE, While resolving operands for [OpcodeName unavailable] (20101013/dswexec-460) ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.VGA_._DSM] (Node f4830ac8), AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE (20101013/psparse-537) ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.P0P1.VGA_._DSM] (Node f4832e10), AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE (20101013/psparse-537) failed to evaluate _DSM: 12291 VGA switcheroo: detected DSM switching method \_SB_.PCI0.P0P1.VGA_ handle They're usually from the nouveau driver probing the _DSM method using the wrong data type for Arg3. But that's ok because asus-switcheroo already loaded: Found VGA device 0000:00:02.0 (\_SB_.PCI0.VGA_): IGD Found VGA device 0000:01:00.0 (\_SB_.PCI0.P0P1.VGA_): DIS Asus switcheroo: detected DSM switching method \_SB_.PCI0.P0P1.VGA_ handle It seems you want to use the proprietary nvidia driver, so you probably want to blacklist nouveau and load asus-switcheroo with the dummy-client=1 option. The only way I've tried it is to then load the nvidia kernel module (which I see getting loaded before asus-switcheroo in your dmesg, not sure if it matters), switch to discrete, then start X with the nvidia driver.
