Joost already > explained it pretty well. 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?
