it seems that Mandriva 2011 there will be NO support ... or at least nothing can be perceived if they really intend to do something about it ...
I brought this issue to the attention of at least two months, but I have not seen any progress, apart port of the new X. Org server (1.10.x), which was an important part of the problem, but only a part.
Now we need to support the solution through a
- Vga_switcheroo, in kernel modules
- Bumblebee, for Nvidia Optimus
- a proper management tool that allows dual GPUs.
If they will not do something for the Hybrid Graphics,
Mandriva 2011 will be totally impossible in 50% of laptop computers on the market now, and you could install it only on old Laptop PCs
