i finally put up a Dual Boot with Ubuntu and Lion on my old MacBookPro 5.1

As reported in many cases the discrete graphics card is turned on all the time consuming a lot of power and thus heating up the laptop.

Since the discrete graphics card does not support the nvidia optimus technology, the corresponding packge nvidia-prime does not help in this case.

Therefore my question is, how to manually disable the discrete graphics card Nvdidia 9600GT ? Preferably a 'switch-on-the-run' version, but a 'set-on-boot' would be totally fine!
