    Hi, I'd like to know if there is a "software" way to switch from integrated graphic to the nvidia geforce (normaly fn+f6 combo) as i sometime use an external keyboard and I haven't found a way to emulate the fn key with it.
    Thanks

    You could always right click on the hybrid graphics icon in the system tray & change that way. (If your drivers are up-to-date you'll have the option to switch via right-click)

    Thanks, I wasn't aware of this possibility.
