KUDOS! We all love you

However,
I'm not completely sure of the immediate implications : I know that this means one GPU can render, while the other displays. I know this works wih displaylink multiseat devices. (as seen in the video). Does this also mean that dualGPU laptops (non-muxed) will work with X server 1.13? Maybe someone could sum it up, I got a bit lost among all the articles.

Thanks.
