Thread Starter 

Hi,

 

I have installed ubunto 11.04 on my laptop along with windows 7 64bit.

The laptop owns an i3-370 M with the intel graphic core and the ATI HD 5470M chip.

In fact hybridgraphic works quite nice in windows but in ubunto i actualy cant make any use of the 5470M

so i would like to switch off the ATI and use only the intel graphic in ubunto mode due to the enormerous power draw of the ati...

 

as im not realy into ubunto i would like to have some guide how to perform that switch

 

 

 

 

regards jennings

You can try this guide

It's a kernel module that uses ACPI functionality to completely turn off the ATI card!

cheers ...
