Bug Description
It appears that under 3.11.0-13, the Nvidia Optimus GPU is disabled when running on battery even if the chipset is set to discrete mode in the BIOS.
When running without AC power under the 3.11 kernel, lspci -v gives the following:
http://
With AC power under 3.11, the same command gives:
http://
If the system is booted into the 3.11 kernel with AC power connected, it can be removed and the GPU continues to function normally. I have not tested suspend and resume under the 3.11 kernel (with or without AC power).
This same configuration worked properly under Raring (13.04). Booting with the 3.8 kernel and the same nvidia module version used in the above 3.11 kernel tests results in the previously experienced (correct, working) behavior.
