    Is there a way to manually change to the intel graphics card?

    I want to use the Intel wireless display with my Netgear push 2 tv unit, but I have to have my m11x on the intel graphics to use it.

    AFAIK, only way to disable the nvidia chip is through the device manager. Not ideal, but I've had no issues doing that and then re-enabling it in the same session without the need for a reboot.

    But you shouldn't need to do that, since intel is default to begin with.
