Hi everybody, I own a Dell Vostro 3500; after trying several random methods in the test_off.sh script (the standard ones didn't work), i got:
# ./test_off.sh Trying \_SB.PCI0.P0P1.PEGP._OFF: works! I can see battery discharges slower, too. I have absolutely no experience in kernel hacking, so maybe it's not interesting, but after running the script I can no longer load the proprietary nvidia module, which is good I think (obviously, there wasn't any problem before the execution of the script): # modprobe nvidia FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.36/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko): No such device Usual info: # dmidecode -s system-product-name Vostro 3500 # dmidecode -s system-version Not Specified # 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 18) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation Device [10de:0a75] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Sorry for possible English errors!
