Detection code now fully works. Not waiting for CBM integration, getting it done sooner. Switched to using libpci - solves our problems.

Le more progress.

Once I have LDM merged into the repo with a migration path I'll mark this resolved.

OK so if you're on unstable, do a FULL upgrade first, and then install nvidia-glx-driver, and reboot. Ideally you'll come back to a full login + desktop *and* have Optimus enabled now

This is now resolved in unstable. After doing a full upgrade, users can install the driver and Optimus will be automatically configured for "always on" behaviour.
We'll add "on demand" in future.
