Title:
nVIDIA 425M (with Optimus) is not detected
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I've recentely purchased a new (custom build) laptop with a nVIDIA GT425M
graphics card and i5-460M processor.
This card supports Optimus, which Ubuntu (and Linux) does not support (I can
live with that).
But I can't get this GT425M to work, the only gpu being used is the
integrated GPU in the i5 processor.
It seems that Ubuntu does not detect the nVIDIA card at all:

./test_off.sh from http://linux-hybrid-graphics.blogspot.com/2010/07
/using-acpicall-module-to-switch-onoff.html yields "failed" for
everything.
The nVIDIA properitary driver was a disaster, it would left me without
a X server and after uninstalling it, I had to reinstall libgl1-mesa-
glx and run sudo update-initramfs -u. Not sure if it helped, but I
removed newer files (touched by nvidia installer) in
/lib/modules/$(uname -r) and reinstalled linux-image-$(uname -r) too
(which took care of updating initramfs as well)
I've seen this thread as well:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1657660, so I quited with
trying to get the properietary driver to work. The BIOS does not
provide me an option for switching/disabling Optimus or video cards
