    Hi,

    I have a Acer 5745PG I am currently on Bios 1.11 and have disabled the graphics switch in the bios and set it to Discrete. I have done this so I can install the latest nVidia drivers in Windows. The latest bios is 1.16 however when I upgrade to this the switching option is greyed out and I cannot change it to Discrete.

    This bios fixes a few issues with Linux to show battery percentage and fixes the eject button on the dvd drive.

    Does anybody know how to unlock this option?

    Edit - whoops I noticed i put the title as Aspire 5754PG when it is infact a 5745PG...
