Comment (by Krejzi):
This is the most current patch, it seems:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xorg-x11-server/raw/master/f/xserver-
autobind-hotplug.patch
Aargh: I browsed the patches in this directory, but only those with
names beginning with 00!
Now, what you said about DRI3 is correct. I have been using DRI3 with xf86
-video-intel for some time now and did not need the patch (the experience
is not perfect, but the intel driver isn't that maintained). And that's
the only driver that matters (apart from modesetting, which uses DRI3),
for hybrid setups are either Intel+AMD, Intel+NVidia, or some rare AMD+AMD
(APU graphics + discrete graphics - never heard AMD+NVidia situation,
yet). And a side note, for DRI3 side, Mesa is responsible for switching, X
server has nothing to do with it. That setup works with Wayland
compositors as well.
Well, I'm leaning towards removing the patch from the book; I have no
hardware to test it anyway. So unless the OP could test the above patch
from fedora, I am not sure it should be included in the book. And the
current patch is definitely wrong (see ticket #9636 comment3)
