Quoting Fr David Ousley <davidousley@xxxxxxxxxxx>:
New laptop, new 11.4 installation (dual boot with Windows 7) with
switchable graphics: on the motherboard, IntelVGA compatible
controller (2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics
Controller). This is what is in use with no problem since the
installation. There is also nVidia GeForce GT 555M card. The
hardware switch works in Windows, but has no effect in linux. I
think my son (whose computer it is) will use the nVidia most of the
time, but might like to know how to switch. In any case, I would
appreciate any help in knowing how to use the nVidia in place of the
motherboard graphics. Thanks! (If details of either or both or the
system, are needed, please tell me what you need.)
This is an Optimus system. The official word from Nvidia is auto switching
will never be supported under Linux. Details of how or if Linux can be
switched to use the Nvidia card varies with the specific brand of laptop and
perhaps model.
