Turns out bugs don't automatically expire if someone is assigned to
them.

Title:
  Xmir doesn't start with MUXed Intel/ATi hybrid graphics

Status in Mir:
  Incomplete
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've an Acer 4820TG notebook with MUXed Intel + ATi cards, and I can
  select which card to use via BIOS setting or somewhat dynamically
  using vgaswitcheroo.

  In case I set the notebook in dynamic mode on the bios, so that I've both the VGA cards available, XMir doesn't start, and I'm getting the X fallback session instead of lightdm.
  If I instead add an upstart job to force one of the cards to turn off early on the boot, it works instead.

  Using pure X this issue doesn't show up.
