[Orion <orion2000za@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you (that is Anton) tried this with the just released 11.4 Catalyst 
driver? I am on 10.10, still using open drivers and vga-switcheroo (can 
only use intel "on-board" "card") but was thinking of trying this. Saw 
today on Phoronix that 11.4 is released and should have better support 
for PowerXpress.

Do NOT want to go 11.04 as several report increased power useage and 
less battery life of up to 40%!!!
