Woops replied to wrong address, let me try again:

Oh wow thanks, I read bumblebee got deprecated, and was hoping for an 
alternative solution. I actually need the G210 to work cause I'm using the 
laptop as an emulation station for my kid, hence I need video acceleration, and 
I'd like to get the HDD running as fast as possible. I am able to use the 
laptop with only the intel card (purge nvidia, and turn sata to enhanced), but 
not keep nvidia working while intel is on ... I guess I'm going to have live 
with sata in compatibility mode to keep accelerated graphics. anyone try the 
nouveau drivers?

Thanks for answers everyone.

Matt

Subject: [Asus-ul30] [Hybrid-graphics-linux] State of ul30vt in 2022. Anybody 
out there?


Hallo there, I wonder if anybody still reads this and is still using this 
ancient laptop.
Long story short I tried to update from ubuntu 14.04 where everything worked, 
but unfortunately libraries were too old to keep up with ev4erything new and 
shiny.
Tried update to 16.04, but things went south quickly, decided to reinstall 
20.04.
Had quite a few issues, the first is that the nvidia driver for the g210 is not 
compatible with modern kernels >5.4.
There is a solution to this with

ppa:kelebek333/nvidia-legacy

With a modified driver, this works. However, I have to run the machine with the 
sata set to compatibility because bumblebee won't work. If I run enhanced I 
can't even get the intel ones to start properly and get a login loop from the 
gdm.

Anyone else still using this laptop and have working setup instructions?

I can't even remember how to set up the brightness buttons for this anymore, 
but that is a minor problem.

Thanks in advance,

Matt.
