Hi,

IronHide looks to be not supported anymore by MrMEEE. And there isn't a Precise Pangolin TBP/Bumblebee package right now either. But as Launchpad supports it, we will add it to the next release, 3.0 one.

About having it at start, you may put the needed line in the rc script (normally /etc/rc.local).

Normally, if you use the acpi_call package (either IronHide or TBP one), it's using DKMS so that it is built for new kernel you use, as nvidia is for example. So, as soon as there will be a package for Precise, that should be OK. But that will probably not happen, as acpi_call won't be a part of Bumblebee as 3.0 will roll in, but that doesn't matter, it will be replaced by bbswitch. We will announce it when it would be ready, and explain all the changes.

But we're probably not going to build a 2.4 Precise version, so you will have to wait a little more on the TBP side.

I would like to test the latest support for graphics switching and shutting off the NVidia chip on my ASUS UL50VT.  I can already shut off the NVidia chip with acpi_call.ko and test_off.sh:
[ 4981.914398] acpi_call: Module loaded successfully
[ 4987.040224] acpi_call: Calling \_SB.PCI0.P0P1.VGA._OFF
[ 4987.146929] acpi_call: Call successful: 0x0
But, I would like to have it occur automatically when I boot.  Also, ideally acpi_call.ko would get built whenever I build my own kernel and install its modules.
