I have a laptop with a Nvidia GT555M 2gb and and integrated card. my problem is that I can not disable the integrated card so ubuntu isn't using my good graphics card. Ive been reading about Hybrid-Graphics and tried ironhide and had it fail(issue reported here https://github.com/MrMEEE/ironhide/issues/170) I've tried to get acpi_call to work but the test script always reports that its not working. I do not have the necessary methods in the dsdt for the asus_switcheroo. Does anyone have any other ideas? I think if I can't get ironhide working soon ill test regular bumblebee.
I am running Linux Mint 11(Gnome) 64 bit running xfce as my primary DE
the processor with integrated graphics is a i7-2720Q at 2.2ghz
if i left out something that could help you help me just tell me and ill gladly tell you. Thanks in advance for any help
EDIT: When trying to edit xorg.conf to use the nvidia card it reports no devices. I've read that unless you deactivate the card through BIOS or hardware switch this will happen each time.
EDIT2: If I could get it running on Arch or PCLinuxOS that would be great also.

Did you tried messing with xorg.conf?

Yes, if you cant disable the integrated card through Bios or hardware switch it reports no devices found though
