Hi Christine,
Nice anecdote :) Can you confirm that bbswitch functions properly?
I.e. does
writing ON/OFF enable/disable the card?
I can switch it ON, but I can't seem to switch it OFF. At one time, I
saw a message that an nvidia driver is using it.
Why would you want to enable the video card on boot? You can't use it
anyway (unless your BIOS allows for it). See also the question on
support of
Optimus technology: http://askubuntu.com/q/36930/6969
I hadn't seen that. Seems like I should just forget about the nvidia card?

Hi Christine,
Do you have a GTX 555 or GT 555M? bbswitch was designed for
laptops and does AFAIK not work with desktop cards. Unless the
load_state=1 option is passed to bbswitch, loading the module
does not turn the device on.
Oh, yes, I have the GT555M. It's an Asus laptop.

PS. interesting use of "dag" :)
I have used "dagdag" in all my emails since 1993. Some six years
ago, one of my friends asked me by email "what does dagdag mean...
oh, I see, it's just a two character rotation of byebye". It
occurred to him because he is a crypto expert, I guess. I've used
this sig line ever since. It's the only case that I know of in
which a two character rotation provides you a valid translation
between Dutch and English :-)

Hi,
I can switch on my geforce gtx555 with bbswitch. Now I want
to have it switched on at boot, so I can load the proper
drivers at boot too. I added "bbswitch" to /etc/modules in my
ubuntu 11.10, I added bbswitch.ko to
/lib/modules/3.0.0-15-generic/kernel/drivers/acpi/, and I did
the sudo initramfs -u command. But the card stays off at
reboot, there's no message in syslog, like I get when I type
"make load".
How do I turn on the card at boot properly? Thanks in advance.
