Thanks.

I turned on maximum logging, tried starting X, and walked through the 
traces.  I think I can definitely rule out the ACPI error messages as 
being relevant at this point.  The argument type check fails, but the 
methods all execute normally.

The actual issue seems to be optimus-related instead.  Thanks for all 
the help, though.
