(A kernel simple module that enables you to call ACPI methods by writing the
method name followed by arguments to /proc/acpi/call.
This module is to be considered a proof-of-concept and has been superseeded by
projects like bbswitch. It
allows you to tamper with your system and should be used with caution.

Usage:
echo '<call>', sudo tee /proc/acpi/call
You can then retrieve the result of the call by checking your dmesg or:
sudo cat /proc/acpi/call
An example to turn off discrete graphics card in a dual graphics environment
(like NVIDIA Optimus):
# turn off discrete graphics card
echo '\_SB.PCI0.PEG1.GFX0.DOFF' > /proc/acpi/call
# turn it back on
echo '\_SB.PCI0.PEG1.GFX0.DON' > /proc/acpi/call
These work on my ASUS K52J notebook, but may not work for you. For a list of
methods to try, see http://linux-hybrid-graphics.blogspot.com/ or try running
the provided script examples/turn_off_gpu.sh
It SHOULD be ok to test all of the methods, until you see a drop in battery
drain rate (grep rate /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state), however it comes
with NO WARRANTY - it may hang your computer/laptop, fail to work, etc.
You can pass parameters to acpi_call by writing them after the method,
separated by single space. Currently, you can pass the following parameter
types:
- ACPI_INTEGER - by writing NNN or 0xNNN, where NNN is an integer/hex
- ACPI_STRING - by enclosing the string in quotes: "hello, world"
- ACPI_BUFFER - by writing bXXXX, where XXXX is a hex string without spaces,
or by writing { b1, b2, b3, b4 }, where b1-4 are integers
The status after a call can be read back from /proc/acpi/call:
- 'not called' - nothing to report
- 'Error: ' - the call failed
- '0xNN' - the call succeeded, and returned an integer
- '"..."' - the call succeeded, and returned a string
- '{0xNN, ...}' - the call succeeded, and returned a buffer
- '[...]' - the call succeeded, and returned a package which may contain the
above types (integer, string and buffer) and other package types
