    Is there a way to force the system, to not switch to onboard gpu when you go to battery mode? Its annoying because after your done with battery mode and plug back in it stays in onboard video mode till you hit FN F7 GFX, and then of course you have to reboot.

    Thanks in advance

    well the only way i found out by messing around was to be in windows and disable the onboard in device manager...restart ..then while in windows unplug it and see what happens...
