[Nouveau] Powering down laptop GPU TU117GLM

[Ferenc Wágner]

Hi,

Sorry if I'm reaching the wrong forum, please advise if so.  My question
is not about the main focus of this community, but I had no better idea
about where to look for the relevant expertise.

So: this Dell Precision 5560 laptop is built with a "T1200 Laptop GPU",
and I suspect it draws power even though I don't ever use it, heating
the computer and shortening battery life.  Is there a way to shut it
down for good?  (Or to make sure it isn't causing my problems?)

Feri.
