Many vendors lately put 2 video cards in laptops. The switch is triggered by an ACPI method afaik. The linux module taking care of that is called vga_switcheroo.

My Sony Vaio Z11 has this also. But first it has to show to the Haiku bootloader.
Last I heard the Nvidia/intel scheme was completely different to the Radeon/Intel scheme?
Mine is Nvidia/Intel so work on that first please ;)

It shouldn't be that hard to support, and it is specified how to do in the ACPI spec. It's quite low on my todo-list, but anyone who knows the basics of driver writing could do this if they want to start with ACPI.
