how to disable graphics card in macbook pro 2016

Its a basically fresh installation of Ubuntu 14.04 without any tweaks worth mentioning. The second method won't work either because I cannot install the propritary drivers, as described above.

UPDATED: Booting into OS X and forcing the integrated graphics in gfxCardStatus 2.2.1.įirst method won't work for me because there is no BIOS on Macbooks.

or switching to integrated graphics in nvidia-settings.

Turning off the discrete graphics device in the BIOS.

It held for about 3 hours with Mac OS when doing similiar work. So I would like to turn the NVIDIA graphics off completely and only use the Intel integrated graphics instead, because the battery only holds for ~1,5 hours when doing office work since I installed Ubuntu. I've been told that this is because the NVIDIA driver doesn't support the special hardware characteristics of the Macbook. When I install the propritary NVIDIA driver (340.76), the system hangs when I start the X-server.

I have a Macbook Pro from 2010 that has NVIDIA graphics and Intel integrated agraphics: $ lspci|grep -i vgaĠ0:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12)Ġ1:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT216M (rev a2)
