Hi,

Rutger, thanks for your script! I got Nvidia working with
nvidia-current (modified the script) but not with
nvidia-current-updates, but now the drivers on Intel side fail to load
properly, I don't get 3d acceleration. Interesting... Anybody have any
ideas? I suspect my upgrade from 11.04 messed something up. Anyway,
I'll investigate this when I have more time.

Also, resuming from suspend does not work on the Nvidia side, except
if I drop to console first (Ctrl+Alt+F1) before doing suspend (sudo
pm-suspend), and when waking up quickly switch back to X with Alt+F7.
It's a pain, but better than rebooting. =)

Heikki
