Hi, I didn't see the comment by Timo requesting no more DSDT.dsl attachments.
But is very disappointing for me seeing this as "declined" for Karmic and also for Lucid (which means that an official solution will not be available *at least* until October 2010).
After many years of using Ubuntu only I had to use the "included" Windows 7 since battery lasts 10 hours (one of the main reasons I purchased this laptop) and also I don't have any kind of visual effects on my desktop (which means I've lost the transparency effect that was so useful for me).
It should not be considered "wishlist" as it will surely drive users away from Ubuntu :(
Hot swapping cards is not really the important thing, I would really be happy if I could select that at boot time or before the x-session is started.
By killing the nvidia card I now have a little more battery, but it is not enough and not a solution.
