Dell Inspiron N7110, dual gfx, need intel gpu off
How would i turn off the intel gpu ?
The bios is the latest there is, still ancient and no functions at all
I have a nVidia gpu installed (dual gpu:s)
Any hope for the ACPI to be fixed in any updated bios ?

Thanks, i appreciate the reply. Not what i was hoping for.
But maybe some day they fix the ACPI tables with a newer BIOS, which is the root cause and reason for why im trying to get the intel *** out.
Thanks

This system has been end of life for some time - there will be no further BIOS updates for it.

You cannot. Your system uses a software controlled, multiplexer-free system - only the Intel GPU is physically connected to the screen, so all video data passes through it even if it has been processed by the nVidia GPU. The Intel GPU is active at all times.
If you deactivate the Intel GPU, you'll see no display at all.
