That's bad, if there is no way to disable one of the GPUs in the BIOS
you will not have much fun I'm afraid.

Use the 3.6 kernel from experimental. As for the nouveau X driver, the

Xserver 1.13 -- which is not available in Debian, you have to build it
(and the necessary input and video drivers) yourself.
