More laptops have entered the Linux Hybrid Graphics list, now in Wikipedia

Our Linux Hybrid Graphics list is now in Wikipedia, even with ubber-cool on-the-fly column sorting. Try it now.

But more importantly, if you've got any of the systems listed and have 2 minutes to spend, please post your DSDT table information as an attachment in this bug report:

Two new laptops have entered the list, both having a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4870, that is listed as PowerXpress enabled. Here is the list as it is in Wikipedia at the point of writing this entry:

To compile your DSDT information, install if you haven't already the acpidump and iasl tools:
sudo apt-get install acpidump iasl

Then run the following commands:

sudo acpidump > acpidump.txt
sudo acpixtract acpidump.txt
iasl -d DSDT.dat


This will create a DSDT.dsl file that you can attach to the bug report. This information will allow the developers to fully implement the hybrid graphics features for Linux.
