It worked running nvidia provided display drivers for X! It ran like it
would if only the nvidia was there, seems like the Intel card is
disabled somehow.

It could be because the SATA settings in the bios seemed to free up some

On my Intel card I got about 3 000-4 000 frames on the 'glxgears' run.
On nvidia I get around 15 000 - so yes, its waaay faster!

Havent tried to switch back - but as mentioned earlier, hotswitching
will never work unless written into the core of Xorg

Hope this was clear.
