Installed archlinux on my 1215n and have encountered a few problems using Bumblebee. I have tried using both nouveau and nvidia. The problem occurs after hibernate/suspend (using pm-utils). What happens is that the discrete card is reported as off (using the asus1215n.sh-script that comes with acpi_call) but the actual power consumption tells me that the card is not properly turned off. When using the Nvidia-driver optirun also fails and reports that it can not find an x-server. The nouveau causes a kernel panic instead. The calls in cardon/cardoff are the proper ones: i've checked them and they are actually reported as working in the kernel log. What's weird is that the calls are actually not even made after the suspend/hibernate. I can still turn the card on and off with the same script mentioned earlier but this causes the computer to hang completely when trying to suspend/hibernate. Bumblebee works properly after a reboot though.
Been looking for a solution for a few days but I think I've lost my google mojo.
