    I am trying to get Fedora 19 working on my Alienware 14. It works so long as I boot it with only the discrete graphics card enabled. However, I want to use only the integrated graphics when in Fedora since I don't do anything graphically intense while in Fedora and the battery life is very short when the discrete graphics card is always on. I tried installing bumblebee and booting with optimus enabled, but I got a black screen. Is there some way to get Fedora to only use the intel graphics or optimus on the Alienware 14?
