Re: status of graphics switch support in vanilla kernels

I follow this list for a couple of years now, since I have one of the first
Vaio Z models and plan on getting a new one. To my knowledge there is no
Wiki anywhere that collects the whole knowledge.  The information on the
vaio-z-series page at launchpad is also fairly outdated.

Several people have proposed to start a Wiki on this list in the last years,
but as always someone simply has to start gathering the info and then some
people will start helping. But until now, nobody seems to have found the
time.

Best regards,
Philipp
