Furthermore, I've noticed that the Linux folks have actually created a "linux-hybridgraphics" mailing list which deals exactly with the problems I'm seeing, but (of course) from a Linux standpoint. It seems that under Linux, at least one GPU works out of the box, and that they have experimental code for switching between GPUs at runtime (presumably while X11 isn't running, don't know). I'm going to see and try what I can learn and do to enable this kind of behavior under FreeBSD. Not that I'm the biggest kernel hacker, but I'm hoping that this issue is easy enough for me. ;-) Greetings, Nils
