Interesting. So the OLPC also has a discrete and an integrated graphics
card?
Are these Intel or what brand?

With the bad spell they have had lately, hopefully Nvidia will disappear as
a company soon and let Intel and ATI carry on supporting Linux :-p
No, seriously, I am guessing Nvidia will add this to the list of things to
do for their binary blob, but ATI/AMD should be in a better position to
support or help in supporting this feature in Linux, right?
