Hello, sorry for a silence. I made few another tests with newly released distros and some researches.
Actually I found something interesting in this subject, you can read about it here:
Follow discussion and links, especially those from article on Phoronix.
Shortly summarizing the subject:
To get several, different video drivers working together under 1 instance of Xorg, there's a need to have PRIME implemented in kernel, Xorg, randr / xrandr.
However my tests performed on kernel 3.6.x and Xorg 1.13 showed that, there's a need to introduce improvements, because things are not working completely like P'n'P - there's too many bugs as for now.
I'm waiting for final release of Fedora 18, becasue probably it may have PRIME implemented and working.
Most likely its only a question of time to get DL devices fully supported in Linux and personally I'm expecting this to happen in the year 2013.
