What you have done already is great. If you can do this, however, you are a god.

Strange indeed...did you restore from a Time Machine backup by chance? That was mentioned earlier in this thread (by VelvetFannyPack) and I've seen similar postings on the Apple discussion boards. I have a feeling it has to do with some rogue preference plist somewhere that's either missing a key/value or has another value for one of them...
Nope... didn't restore from Time Machine.... but see my last post. Turns out it was a printer agent. (For a printer I don't use very frequently, at that).
Woop!Now just wait for a little menu bar app that tells you which one is on.
A note to all using gfxCardStatus...
It now has an official homepage! http://codykrieger.com/gfxCardStatus/
You're my favorite ninja, bitninja.
Thanks bitninja, this is incredibly useful.
It would be great if it would refresh every minute or so. I find that the card usage changes based upon other actions besides starting and stopping apps and switching displays (for instance, when i open a website in Firefox, close a tab, etc.).
Hopefully Apple figures this out - it's a real hassle.
Thanks for all your work!
Thanks a ton bitninja!
if i'm running my macbook pro from power (not battery), should the nvidia graphics be active?
i thought the intel was only meant to be active when running off the battery, however for the majority of my tasks it seems the intel is always active. like others if i open tweetie it switches to nvidia, when i close tweetie it switches back regardless if it's running off the battery or not
Thanks a ton bitninja!

I can send you the app file if you want haha.Ah, weird. I wonder what framework(s) the printer agents are utilizing that make the 330M kick in. Surely it can't be Core Animation. I almost wish I had the same problem as you so I could analyze it!![]()
