Detailed Description
Lenovo is now producing computers that have a integrated graphics card and a discrete graphics card. In most cases computers need to be restarted and have the BIOS settings changed to swap between cards. However users running Microsoft Vista or 7 can switch during runtime though. This allows users of Fedora to also switch during runtime
Benefit to Fedora
Allows users of Fedora to take advantage of hardware features without a full restart.
Use Cases
- Frank wants to have a longer battery life and switch to his integrated graphics card
- John wants to use higher graphics settings and switch to his discrete graphics card
