Status on using NVidia card with Alienware M11x-R2? Intel 3d support option?
I have been able to follow the info in the Fedora forum posting to
disable nvidia and only use the Intel card, with a significant drop in
power consumption with the NVidia card turned off (thanks especially to
docdrow for spelling that out so clearly):

Though the forum is for Fedora, with a few minor differences I have it
working under openSuSE 11.3.
But it appears everyone is now stuck trying to actually _use_ the Nvidia
card.

Is this still the case for everyone?
Is there still is not any way to enable the Nvidia to actually be used
yet?
Is there a way to enable 3d support for the Intel video card at least?
Thanks for any guidance.
