Spend several hours to try to bring nvidia unit in my laptop. But it is
"Optimus". It looks like working, but both output show same picture :)))
And this is right-side of desktop (if you run xorg) :)

Think we have to ask nvidia to share some info on how to call their KMS
inside kernel (not via /dev/card/dri node).
