## Introduction

This dde-dock plugin is originally written by chanforever, designed for quick access from dde-dock to switch between different graphics cards to run X11 server.

For now only support **Intel IGPU + NVIDIA DGPU** laptops with internal display connected to IGPU.
> Laptops with internal display connected to DGPU, or those with DDG(Dual-Direct GFX) technology won't need this plugin.

* **AMD APU + NVIDIA DGPU** laptops are theortically supported(?)

  Ofcourse it only shows `Intel graphics` in dde-dock, but since using `modesetting` module in xorg.conf, APU should work......

  If you switch to `Intel graphics` and xserver failed to start, you can run `/opt/apps/dde-dock-graphics-plugin/files/bin/Rescue.sh` in tty2 to revert modifications in `/etc/X11/xorg.conf` and `/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf`.
