With respect to support, you are mistaken. The git branch is brand new 
and will be useless until it and the X server work being done in 
parallel are complete.

None of this code is expected to be functional or part of a Linux 
distribution for another year.

If you want to help (assuming you are a god at C and know the Linux 
graphics stack in and out), I'd suggest contacting Dave Airlie, joining 
#bumblebee-dev on Freenode, or look into improving mouse and windowing 
support for hybrid-windump.
