Dual video card notebook: no X11 at all

[Yury Glukhovskoy]

Hi Konstantin

What do You mean saying "head for kernel bits" and "right options for usermode bits" ?

I've been using 9 Stable x64 at lenovo ideapad y570 with Intel HD video.
xorg was compiled with WITH_NEW_XORG and WITH_KMS.
driver for intel video cards(xf86-video-intel-2.7.1_4) was installed from ports.

Is it enough ?
I asked this because of impossibility to switch from graphics to console mode...

If the dual-GPU machine is labeled as Optimus, Nvidia card has no chance of
working with any version of FreeBSD right now. There should be no video
outputs on Nvidia chip at all, which only performs rendering into the
main memory to be displayed by embedded GPU pipeline.

On-CPU GPU should typically work, for some definition of 'work', but indeed
requires recent stable or head for kernel bits, and recent ports compiled
with right options for usermode bits.
