Update 18/03/2014: I'm sad to announce I no longer have this computer nor any PC with hybrid graphics... My ASUSM51Ta passed away, so I no longer could compile kernels and test things on hybrid graphics. As far as I know this technology is already supported more easily Hybrid Graphics Wiki.

First of all, this HowTo is intended to people like me with almost no knowledge about compiling and patching kernels. Also to people that may want to share their experience using the vga_switcheroo (now included in kernel 2.6.35 onwards) from David Airlie with their own machines with switchable graphics.


If you want to test this HowTo on your computer, please post your experience at the mailing list of https://launchpad.net/%7Ehybrid-graphics-linux
