Hey Rodrigues, Glad to hear this worked for you, instead of using a script download:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38458054/nvidia-g210m-acpi-source_0.1.0-1 %7Eppa-karmic_all.deb This was originally designed for lenovo laptops. Kudos to Sylvain Joyeux for creating this. I also attached usr.src.nvidia-g210m- acpi-0.1.0.nvidia_g210m_acpi.c.patch (If on ubuntu run patch -p0 < usr.src.nvidia.g210m-acpi-0.1.0.nvidia_g210m_acpi.patch from /, then run the following commands, as root): dkms remove -m nvidia-g210m-acpi -v 0.1.0 --all // Remove the already installed driver dkms add -m nvidia-g210m-acpi -v 0.1.0 // Re-add it to the tree dkms build -m nvidia-g210m-acpi -v 0.1.0 // Build the module dkms install -m nvidia-g210m-acpi -v 0.1.0 // Install the module Now just do an: echo nvidia_g210m_acpi >> /etc/modules This patch changes the acpi call to work with the U43Jc instead of lenovo. It also calls kill_nvidia() after suspend... This should load the module at boot, and it should call it after every suspend/resume. Also, you can easily get seven hours by running: pm-suspend true // or putting it in /etc/rc.local Then install powertop, and it should give you some further hints. I get about 10.7W on idle with low screen brightness. If you want to be able to do an aptitude (or apt-get) update && aptitude full-upgrade without your kernel being overwritten, run aptitude hold linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic aptitude hold linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic ** Patch added: "usr.src.nvidia-g210m-acpi-0.1.0.nvidia_g210m_acpi.c.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/312756/+attachment/1714794/+files/usr.src.nvidia-g210m-acpi-0.1.0.nvidia_g210m_acpi.c.patch -- support graphics card hot switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312756 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
