gpu switching

i have script that sets on my nvidia-gpu after i change in BIOS graphics from integrated to discrete

Code:

#!/bin/bash

##lspci | grep 
##cp /etc/X11/10-nvidia.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
##rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf
gpu=`lspci | grep 'VGA.*NVIDIA'`
ok="$?" 

if 
   lspci | grep 'VGA.*NVIDIA' > /dev/null 2>&1
then
   cp /etc/X11/10-nvidia.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
else
   rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf
fi

my integrated is:

Code:

lspci | grep VGA                  
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)

and turns on automatically but nvidia-driver is overwriting libGL libraries and glx works only with nvidia is there any way for storing two sets of libGL libraries and have glx-support on intel too???

ps. i am not using optimus/bumblebee, is draining battery that why i came up with gpu-switch script

On SBo, they have a script for the nvidia driver (I believe it is called nvidia-switch), which backs up the original libraries and then replaces them with the nvidia libs. That script will also reverse the changes when the package is removed. You could probably either use that script directly by calling it in your script, or open up the script and grab the stuff you need out of it to incorporate it into your script.
