Yipeee! It's working! The single-space was the problem (terminal attached).
It seems that it gave me some extra battery time although I recently found out, that my battery is broken and this is the main reason for low battery time. ;-) Can I somehow find out how much power (Watt) the laptop currently uses? Anyway - Thanks for the help and the good work! Keep it going - I look forward to see the new bumblebee release and maybe I will try out using the nvidia card in linux. ;-) 2012/1/7 Lekensteyn <[email protected]>: > In addition, make sure that *no* driver is loaded before turning the card > off.
