Hello all, I'm recently got a Dell L702X and so far it's been a rather nice machine aside from the Optimus hurdle. So far, it works just fine with the Intel chip, actually compiz capable but, I've got a 550M next to it. So far, I've managed to use the acpi_call module (http://github.com/mkottman/acpi_call) to turn on and off the NVIDIA chip and I can confirm this by the amount of power being drawn from the battery. My question is, with the NVIDIA chip enabled, is there anyway to have the NVIDIA proprietary driver take over? I've tried this with and without the Intel VESA module but, with the same result, a black screen. The monitor does not turn off into a standby state, it simply just display no content. My guess would be that everything must go through the Intel chip before it can hit the NVIDIA and that the NVIDIA chip has to send everything back to the Intel chip due to the monitor being connected to the Intel chip. Ideally I'd like to just have the NVIDIA chip always on with the NVIDIA driver handling things but, I suppose if it was this easy, there would be no need for the bumblebee project. Is something like this even currently doable?
Thanks, James
