    That's a big weakness of the R1. nVidia will be pushing new drivers and support for the Optimus platform. Switchable graphics users will be left to get whatever they can.

    I've requested a new driver package (for a couple open issues discussed here in various thread) from engineering, but there isn't an ETA yet. I'm hoping for something late this month or early next, but no guarantees...

    If you guys post or PM me with other issues related to our A rev driver, this will help.
