You need to disable the nvidia graphic "co-processor" first; and then
use the intel integrated graphics. (Because your bios gives no method
to disable it there)
# yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
# yum install git
$ cd /tmp
$ git clone https://github.com/mkottman/acpi_call.git
$ cd acpi_call
$ make
$ sudo insmod acpi_call.ko
$ lspci -vnnn | grep VGA
$ ./test_off.sh
$ lspci -vnnn | grep VGA
$ startx (make sure you have no old xorg.conf being used)
Did the nvidia card get turned off? If so, install the acpi_call
module. Write a script that loads the module, disables the nvidia card,
and starts X, gdm or whatever.
Hope this helps. No, I didn't test it; I don't have the hardware. I
did build and load the module and ran the script on my machine and
nothing blew up.
Good luck
Chris
