Hi all,

We have an ASUS N56V with two video cards:

$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 630M] (rev a1)

I need OL7 running on it, it's installed and updated:

$ uname -a
Linux toni 3.10.0-123.20.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 28 12:39:44 PST 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

And It should work in these modes:
1. Only HDMI (if available)
2. Only LVDS (not docked)
3. LVDS and HDMI or VGA (mirror)

I am using the Nvidia proprietary driver (very bad perfomance with nouveau, it's unusable). This is my xorg.conf (

Howdy, Stranger!
