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. -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
