Hey all. I have a great laptop, its the Acer Aspire Timeline X 5820tg-6406. Its a sexy laptop featuring 6gb of ram and a 2.67ghz dual core. My main issue is my graphics chipset. or should i say chipsets. It come with two chipsets, one for gaming, (its sexy 1gb radeon) and one intel powersaving one. By default, ubuntu will use the intel one, although its not powerful enough for the effects i want to run. I looked around and i saw that there is supposed to be an kernal module called switcharoo for this. I can't for the life of me get it installed, can anyone explain to me how to install it properly? 

Merci, Mark.
