Hello,

Possibly silly question, but couldn't see a clear answer anywhere.

On hybrid graphic laptops (eg: Dell XPS 17) is it possible to specify
the nvidia device BusID in /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that X starts using
the nvidia card from the get go? eg:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device1"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BusID          "PCI:01:00:0"
    Option         "IgnoreEDID"
    Option         "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"
EndSection


(this doesn't work but maybe I'm doing it wrong)
