I don't think it's an X problem, either. Whatever driver that handles the switcherino on the kernel side is likely not giving X what it needs. This is a classic example of some new hardware released without specs, and poor open source coders trying to reverse-engineer it. It'll be shaky at first, but they'll get there.
