Hi, both cards will be listed by lspci, even when one is powered off. The way I used to check for draining power was by checking the output of /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state: # the battery drain rate before ~/acpi_call$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state | grep rate present rate: 18315 mW # load the acpi_call driver + call the appropriate method ~/acpi_call$ sudo insmod acpi_call.ko ~/acpi_call$ echo '\_SB.PCI0.PEG1.GFX0.DOFF' > /proc/acpi/call # after a few seconds, the battery drain rate tells me that # the NVIDIA 310m is turned off ~/acpi_call$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state | grep rate present rate: 13134 mW _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~hybrid-graphics-linux Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~hybrid-graphics-linux More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
