Script to enable graphics switch for C2D unibodies?

[alskdj]

Hey guys, I would be interested in learning how to write a script that would enable me to switch from 9400m to 9600m and vice-versa with a shortcut. I know that I would still need to log out etc. Just would like to save having to click system preferences then energy saver then higher battery performance then confirm log out since I do this quite often 😛 Thanks

I was looking for the same thing. I couldn't find a solution, so I made one of my own. Check it out at https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=9898341#post9898341

I hope it's helpful.

gfxCardStatus v1.7 allows GPU switching on pre-2010 MBP's WITHOUT logout!

MAJOR UPDATE: My Automator apps are obsolete, now that gfxCardStatus v1.7 allows GPU switching on pre-2010 MBP's WITHOUT logout! Woo hoo! It works perfectly on my mid-2009 17" MBP running OS X 10.6.3. Check out gfxCardStatus at http://codykrieger.com/gfxCardStatus/
