- Update to release 0.5
* Add various improvements to the original script (by @bubbleguuum)
1. add bbswitch support to power off NVIDIA card if not in use.
This is important to save battery when running on Intel and
to decrease cpu temperature significantly.
This support is optional, it requires user to make some
manual modifications to his system using detailed documentation.
2. add Intel Open Source driver support (xf86-video-intel)
via new intel2 command-line option.
This driver has some additional features that users may want.
3. add the proper BusID for Intel in xorg configuration.
Without this, Xorg fails to start on some laptops.
4. fix (via modified xorg-nvidia.conf) for external monitor
not enumerated by xrandr with the nvidia config.
On Optimus laptop, the dGPU is usually responsible of managing
external video ports, including connections via Thunderbolt 3.
* get-current option for prime-select script
Show valid options for prime-select script, if driver has not
been configured yet
- supersedes the following patches
* 0002-fix-README.patch
* U_prime-select.sh-bail-out-if-nvidia-xconfig-fails-use.patch
