Webcam upside down picture
vga switcheroo
HDMI only works with the nvidia enabled.
Hibernation works with ubuntu

Function keys for brightness when intel card is used
Function key for disabling mousepad
Hibernation does not seem to work with lmde

making web cam work:

$ sudo apt-get install v4l2ucp
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libv4l
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libv4l-0

vga_switcheroo is solved with asus-switcheroo here is the git:

https://github.com/awilliam/asus-switcheroo


just download the git and:
$ cd /folder/where/saved
$ sudo make
$ sudo make install-ubuntu

and know you should be able to switch between intel->nvidia (or nvidia->intel) with logging out and in again.

little shell script for easy usage of asus-switcheroo:

-------------
#!/bin/bash
#this little script is used to switch between the different graphics cards controled by asusswitcheroo
case "$1" in
# turn other graphics on
ON)
echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
;;
# turn other graphics off
OFF)
echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
;;
# turn discrete graphics after logout and login on
DIS)
echo DDIS > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
;;
# turn igp after logout and login on
IGP)
echo DIGD > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
;;
# activate vgaswitcheroo if deacivated or not loaded
START)
sudo modprobe -r nouveau && sudo modprobe nouveau
::
# shows the current state of vgaswitcheroo
*)
cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
;;
esac

and changing brightness for intel:
---------
#must enter hex number from 00 to ff
sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=$1;
---------

or add those to keys:

down
----------
#!/bin/bash
bright=$((0x`sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B`));

if [ $bright -gt 15 ]
then
#decrease brightness
bright=$((0x`sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B`-16));

fi
#new brgihtness will be set
sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=`printf "%X" $bright`
---------

up
---------
#!/bin/bash
bright=$((0x`sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B`));

if [ $bright -lt 239 ]
then
#increase brightness
bright=$((0x`sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B`+16));
fi
#new brgihtness will be set
sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=`printf "%X" $bright`
