Hi Alex,
Any official or officious news from the ATI/AMD front about this?
Thanks and apologies for my impatience :-p
Albert.

Interesting. So the OLPC also has a discrete and an integrated graphics
card?
Are these Intel or what brand

There is no support, and AFAIK no roadmap either. There are many
technical reasons why this is not possible today. In short

Right, which reduces it to a simple power management issue akin to
powering down the 3D core on any modern chipset when you're not doing
any rendering.
Adding different devices with separate drivers is another matter
altogether.
Isn't dual driver support logically equivalent to xrandr

now the question is:
leaving Nvidia and the downstream problems aside, how difficult would it be
to convince ATI/AMD to provide such kind of documentation?
Anyone insider here that can answer?

Thanks Alex for your answer. It's great that you can look into it, and I can
say that for one, I am optimistic about it :-p

How about a gdm restart? That is effectively an X server restart, right?
Then it's only about switching on and off the hardware, right?
