just to give some more feedback, I have a optimus laptop with i7 Sandybridge and nvidia GT550M, there is a led that indicates the nvidia GPU is always in use also after using the proposed repos to test, the laptop is indeed very hot also after I select intel and reboot and the led indicates that the nvidia GPU is in use despite selecting intel.
For me the test is FAILED, i will not change the status, maybe this is a too old model and i'm out of luck.
