Hello Everyone,
I am using Arch Linux for a long time since I bought my Asus 1215N netbook (February 2011), and since bumblebee came out with acpi_call to turn on/off the Nvidia ION, I never had problem with this feature. But now, I don't really know why, bumblebee don't disable/enable my Nvidia card anymore, it works on Ubuntu with ironhide, and it works if I use only acpi_call.

I have created 2 files with the fallowing content :
/etc/bumblebee/cardon:
\_SB.PCI0.P0P4.GFX0._PS0

/etc/bumblebee/cardoff:
\_SB.PCI0.P0P4.GFX0._DSM {0xF8,0xD8,0x86,0xA4,0xDA,0x0B,0x1B,0x47,0xA7,0x2B,0x60,0x42,0xA6,0xB5,0xBE,0xE0} 0x100 0x1A {0x1,0x0,0x0,0x3}
\_SB.PCI0.P0P4.GFX0._PS3

acpi_call and bumblebee start with arch (the first one as module and the second one as daemon).

My /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf settings :
STOP_SERVICE_ON_EXIT=Y
X_SERVER_TIMEOUT=10
VGL_DISPLAY=:8
DRIVER=nouveau
X_CONFFILE=
BUMBLEBEE_GROUP=bumblebee
ENABLE_POWER_MANAGEMENT=Y
VGL_COMPRESS=proxy
ECO_MODE=N
FALLBACK_START=N

How can I solve this problem ?... It is really boring to manually execute "/usr/share/acpi_call/asus1215n.sh off" in order to disable my Nvidia ION :S...

Thanks in Advance,
Luis Da Costa
