His solution is now much better, running a separate X server to provide
the acceleration when specified but still preserving the intel chip
acceleration when not using nvidia:

It still doesn't fix the problem where say HDMI is attached to the
nvidia chip and the laptop screen to the intel chip. In this case, you
can only get the HDMI working using the nouveau driver (and this means
2d only in Ubuntu 11.04), which of course conflicts with the nvidia
driver.

I imagine you could get the HDMI screen working in Xinerama if it were
possible to tell the X server to set up Screen0 and Screen1 and then use
the normal drivers for Screen0 and the nvidia drivers for Screen1, in
the same way that the secondary X server in Martin Juhl's bumblebee uses
the nvidia drivers but allows the intel drivers to use the normal libGL
for the main server. However, I can't see a way of specifying this in
xorg.conf.
