Hello Pierre,

The home page says that's it's intended to disable discrete graphics,
but only working with Nvidia currently. Maybe you should add this
information?

Otherwise, this looks good to me.

Thanks,

Mathieu

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean :)  Are you saying that I should
mention that it could potentially work with any brand in the future?
Considering the age of the last commit, I doubt it ever will :)
