With KMS, Now Run Two X Servers Off One GPU
,----[ Quote ]
| Over the past several weeks there have been a
| number of new Linux graphics features introduced
| by David Airlie, a Red Hat employee and long-
| time X.Org contributer. Last month David began
| on a project rampage by bringing hybrid graphics
| to Linux via code he called "vga_switcheroo" to
| switch between ATI/NVIDIA/Intel GPUs without
| rebooting the system (though restarting the X.Org
| Server is needed at this time) that that
| code has now made its way into the mainline
| Linux kernel.
