I have a dell XPS L502 optimus enabled laptop with Ubuntu 11.10 out of the box I get the internal screen&mini display port working correctly with the integrated intel graphics controller and the hdmi port (presumably hardwired to the discrete nVidia) doesn't work.
I was thinking could I ignore the fancy optimus capabilities and use the nVidia to power my external monitor via hdmi and get all the hardware accelerations on that screen, while using the integrated chip for the laptops internal monitor. I figure I don't really need to send data from discreet GPU to any screen. does this make sense, is it possible, has anyone done this, how do I go about doing this? Meir
