But not without restarting X, or did that change?
Actually I do not get the point of that dual gfx card setups.
Either I want to do demanding graphics stuff with the machine and then its
discrete graphics, or I just use Intel Sandybridge onboard graphics. I
decided for the later and frankly, it has been speedy enough for me for
anything that I tried including Freedroid RPG and Supertuxkart at Full HD
resolution (1920x1080). Sure for more demanding games it can get to slow.
But I am not interested in those at the moment.
