All, Thanks for all the info. I have not had much time to dig into it yet, but I did download and compile the kernel module for disabling the nvidia graphics. The module compiles fine but when I run it I get the following error: kill_nvidia: cannot get ACPI handle: AE_NOT_FOUND
I will try to dig into it more in the near future.
