I have bought a relatively new Asus N550JV notebook, which has two graphic cards and uses a technology called Optimus.

This is the hardware information:

$ lshw -C display

       resources: irq:47 memory:f7400000-f77fffff memory:d0000000-dfffffff ioport:f000(size=64)

Distribution information:

$ uname -a

What I want is to use the nvidia card as my default graphics adapter. Is this possible?
