Hi everyone, New owner of an asus u30jc here, so I'll join you in trying to make this stuff work out.
Here come the first bits of information : sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name U30Jc sudo dmidecode -s system-version 1.0 lspci -vnnn | perl -lne 'print if /^\d+\:.+(\[\S+\:\S+\])/' | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 12) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation Device [10de:0a72] (rev a2) The video card is not detected as what is really is, I wonder if it is the same for all nvidia cards. Anyhow it is an 310M card, which is not supported by the latest nvidia drivers available from the ubuntu repositories. It has something to do with faulty detection of edid parameters. I haven't tried it myself yet but according to this post ( http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2118873&postcount=22) you can specify a correct edid file to use by the driver to bypass the automatic detection and it should work fine. I'd like to know more about the mechanics of the nvidia-optimus before I dive into real testing. I have read somewhere that to have full support of the dynamic switching nvidia-optimus a major restructuration of the X server would be required. Is that true? Why? Julien-Charles
