no, it shouldn't.
supporting optimus' on-the-fly GPU switching is not the problem nor the immediate goal.
the problem is that the nvidia GPU can't be used at all unless developers find a way to reliably feed nvidia GPU output through the intel GPU framebuffer.

XPS 15 has NVIDIA hardware in it, at least the newer ones.
It was one of the machines I was considering before I went with an ASUS G73jW-XR1. Friendly advice: don't ever, ever buy the ASUS. Complete nightmare with barely functional hardware (in Windows; stable Linux support is still a distant dream), and during RMA repairs ASUS failed to fix a single one out of 7 distinct problems it was sent in for, stole the network card I had installed by the reseller, and then didn't bother to package the machine up properly in the slightest for return shipping so it got damaged. ASUS is just horrible.

haha, thanks ldesnogu .. yes, milliseconds indeed. I confused milliseconds with centiseconds so my brain defaulted to the next in line, nanoseconds :P without any data integrity checks..

49.7 day resets and/or problems are surprisingly common, particularly with older game servers (used to see it crop up in game changelogs from time to time).
Clock counter overflows - just when you think you have them handled, one more issue pops up!

49.7 days = 4,294,080 seconds.. 32bit ints (unsigned) overflow at 4,294,967,296 .. right? Maybe it's a nanosecond counter that overflowed.. though that might be 14 hours out *shrug* Still interesting..

The only other change in this 270.41.03 build compared to the last 270.30 Linux driver is fixing a bug that would cause the X.Org Server to hang every 49.7 days on 32-bit systems.
