--- Comment #6 from Miles Lane <miles.lane at gmail.com> ---
Are any of you involved in the development of the nouveau kernel driver?  I am
currently attempting to get the nouveau kernel driver to load/setup
successfully.  I also have a UL50VT.  This laptop does not support Optimus, but
rather has a hardware MUX.

I looked at the nouveau and i915 code and see they need to parse DSM
information to determine whether vgaswitcheroo is supported.  In addition to
the nouveau driver not getting set up correctly, I don't see
/sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo.
