I'm using a T530 with Optimus. I can only external monitors only with
the NVidia-Card, not with the integrated one. I tried to get the
following working roughly two years ago, but I failed:
I'd like to use the internal card most of the time since I don't care
about 3D acceleration but I do care alot about power saving. When using
an external monitor I'd like to use the NVidia card. Currently my
solution is to reboot and change bios settings, being able to switch at
runtime would be a real enhancement for me.
Is this possible?
Regards,
