	https://github.com/awilliam/asus-switcheroo/		https://github.com/awilliam/asus-switcheroo/
		+
		+
		+	Script-based solution ( by eemil@gmx.com ):
		+
		+	The script-based system includes several files, and allows automatic
		+	switching between intel and nvidia, at least on pre-optimus UL30VT.
		+
		+	Here is how it works:
		+	# User writes either "intel" or "nvidia" to /home/user/switcheroo.txt.
		+	# Script detects this and waits for the user to log out (detected as
		+	user's gnome-session not running)
		+	# Turns off gdm3 (debian) or gdm (ubuntu).
		+	# Uses the awilliam module (asus-switcheroo) to switch to the desired
		+	card.
		+	# Uses acpi_call to turn off nvidia if required
		+	# Links appropriate version of libglx.so and libGL.so, and xorg.conf so
		+	that X and openGL apps can find them
		+	# Starts gdm again.
		+
		+	Attached:
		+	* my xorg.conf files for both cards.
		+	* display-settings, the script that does one-shot card switching
		+	depending on switcheroo.txt, and runs at boot so that the last selected
		+	card will be used
		+	* graphics-switch.sh, the script that monitors switcheroo.txt and calls
		+	display-settings when no user session is running
		+	* graphics-switch-daemon, the script that starts graphics-switch.sh on
		+	the background at boot
		+	* an example switcheroo.txt.
		+
		+	Hopefully comprehensive installation procedure:
		+
		+	acpi_call:
		+	-In cloned acpi_call git, do
		+	-Compile acpi_call
		+	-sudo cp acpi_call.ko into /lib/modules/$( uname -r )/kernel/drivers/acpi/.
		+	-sudo depmod -a
		+
		+	asus-switcheroo:
		+	* In cloned asus-switcheroo git, do sudo make install-ubuntu
		+	* Make sure that both /etc/modules and /etc/initramfs-tools/modules have the lines:
		+	<nowiki>asus_switcheroo dummy_client=1
		+	i915_jprobe</nowiki>
		+
		+	xorg.conf files:
		+	* IMPORTANT: If your PCI ID's are different, please modify. See lspci for the numbers.
		+	* sudo cp xorg.conf.intel xorg.conf.nvidia /etc/X11/.
		+
		+
		+	To get nice notifications for scheduled switches:
		+	<nowiki>sudo apt-get install notify-osd</nowiki>
		+
		+	Finally, my scripts:
		+	* Make sure that U=your-user-name in the scripts
		+	* Make sure that SESSION=your-session in the scripts (for example gnome-session or startx or ... )
		+
		+	* sudo cp graphics-switch.sh graphics-switch-daemon display-settings /etc/init.d/.
		+	* sudo update-rc.d display-settings defaults
		+	* sudo update-rc.d graphics-switch-daemon defaults
		+
		+	These should run on Ubuntu and Debian,
		+	tested on Linux Mint Debian. Change the user (U=user) to your user.
