I will try to find any upstream bug report. If I might be able to. ** Description changed:

In Windows, it's possible to switch + between the two cards using fn + f6 (something like that, I actually + doesn't have this notebook) on the fly. Using the Intel card, the + battery life is a way better. The Nvidia card is more powerfull. + + When using Ubuntu, it's not possible to change it on the fly, it must be + done in the BIOS. Besides that, when using Intel card on Linux, the + Nvidia card remains active, drawing the battery very quickly. + + The desired behavior would be: + - Be able to switch between the two graphic cards on the fly. + - When using one card, the other should remain deactivated, improving battery life (wich is the idea of having two cards). + ProblemType: Bug AplayDevices: - **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** - card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: HDA Generic [HDA Generic] - Subdevices: 1/1 - Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 + **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** + card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: HDA Generic [HDA Generic] + Subdevices: 1/1 + Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Architecture: amd64 ArecordDevices: - **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** - card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: HDA Generic [HDA Generic] - Subdevices: 1/1 - Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 + **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** + card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: HDA Generic [HDA Generic] + Subdevices: 1/1 + Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 AudioDevicesInUse: - USER PID ACCESS COMMAND - /dev/snd/controlC0: ubuntu 3781 F.... pulseaudio + USER PID ACCESS COMMAND + /dev/snd/controlC0: ubuntu 3781 F.... pulseaudio CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Card0.Amixer.info: - Card hw:0 'Intel'/'HDA Intel at 0xf1a00000 irq 22' - Mixer name : 'Realtek ID 665' - Components : 'HDA:10ec0665,10280443,00100003' - Controls : 4 - Simple ctrls : 3 + Card hw:0 'Intel'/'HDA Intel at 0xf1a00000 irq 22' + Mixer name : 'Realtek ID 665' + Components : 'HDA:10ec0665,10280443,00100003' + Controls : 4 + Simple ctrls : 3 Date: Mon Mar 29 11:05:25 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 IwConfig: - lo no wireless extensions. - - eth0 no wireless extensions. + lo no wireless extensions. + + eth0 no wireless extensions.
