Nvidia Optimus card does not work?

Question

My notebook (ASUS A40J Series) comes with hybrid graphics: nVIDIA GF310M and Intel.

I can't use the nVIDIA card in my machine and am using Ubuntu 10.04.

How can I get this work?

Have a look at acpi_call and bumblebee in this website:

Try looking at my setup for a Dell XPS17 L702x, it should work for your Acer: (from web.archive.org) Ubuntu 11.10 Oneric on Dell XPS17 L702x.

Try disabling optimus from BIOS if bumblebee doesn´t work. I solved that way, and installed nvidia-current from x-swat updates repository, because regular repo driver crashed when it was installed.
