[Wine] Re: Switch graphics card via Wine?

[oiaohm]

r3son new idea.  Not enough developers have the hardware.

Yes it brings some new and interesting problems.

Wine does not rule hardware. X11 does and its backing drivers do.

Applications are told what features video card supports.   Problem is some applications install those settings in registry and not check the card again.   
We need items like bumblebee to support auto activation.

Auto activation wine uses a feature if the intel cannot do it wake the Nvidia up.   Infact the user running wine may not have the right to switch a video card on and off.

Sorry to say r3son items like bumblebee are not developed far enough to be used effectively with wine yet.  The key feature of auto activation is missing.

All video card control is not Wine issue basically.  Its a X11 configure and driver issue.
