I believe there's an issue with the new logic when there's an HDMI audio subdevice. However that only appears if there's a cable plugged in, at least in the systems Peter tested. You should be able to see whether it's there or not with 'lspci'. You can check for sure by looking in the vgaswitcheroo state. It should say DynOff when it's powered off. Either way, I think using bbswitch + nouveau isn't supported by anyone, so if you want to use it that way, you're on your own. (You may want to load nouveau with runpm=0 so that nouveau doesn't try to manage the GPU suspend stuff.) -ilia -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
