 Ah that is good news ... which kernel are we speaking about here and
are you saying this will happen even without vga_switcharoo ?

Do I assume then when I install f12 (f12?) that the intel wins the race
to fedora's display heart and nvidia will be powered down ... and
ignored from then on?

 Thanks.
