Modded 197.16 Hybrid Graphics Driver for UL30/50/80VT

Well i don't know what i did wrong then. I guess i can just manually disable the 210m in device manager. How do you switch graphics without using the graphicsxboost button?

click on the battery icon in the lower let hand corner and choose a power mode that isnt "power4gear high performance"

I'm using the same driver package (197.16). This works for me:
Open your advanced energy profile settings and set "put discrete graphics to sleep after" to 2 min. Now you just have to wait these 2 min after you have switched to the profile (which uses the intel gpu) and the nvidia graphics disappear in the device manager.

I will have a [Nvidia 197.72 | Intel 1994] package that will be up soon that should be easy for you guys to install. It is the newest officially released Hybrid Graphics drivers that I know of with a modified INF to add Asus and other HG notebooks.

Nautis how far are you along in disabling the multiplexers to enable optimus in laptops with hybrid graphics? I'm sure people wouldn't mind donating a little if it got toward developing optimus drivers for hybrid graphics laptops

maybe I missed previous discussion. Last time after the installation of modded drivers I missed the functionality of switching between graphics modes using hardware button on the top of my UL30VT laptop. It's known issue and fixable as well?

I can't seem to get physx enabled even after manually installing it. Is this because of the .inf i used?
EDIT: Bah, you need to enable physx in nvidia control panel. Silly me.

hopefully the ul80vt will properly power down the g210, that will make updating the drivers most excellent

Hey Nautis.... any word on this package? As always, thank you for your hard work and dedication.

i've been messing w/ this and trying to make it work right, but it seems to not wanna work correctly on my 80vt.
i tried the instructions on the first post and Nautis driver and the drivers from his own page, but whenever i install it my NV doesn't wanna shut off
i am running power4gear (the one from the ul80vt asus download page).

anyone getting an updated driver set to work correctly and power down the NV card? if so what version/package are you using and are you using power4gear?

thanks
