I had access to the PR3 spec internally.  I'm not sure if it's available
publicly or not.  Support for displays was not included in the information I
saw or from talking with our internal hybrid graphics architects.  It's
possible the spec has been updated since I last talked to them earlier this
year.  I can double check.

Does your new laptop use PR3 or the older nvidia proprietary ACPI method?

I have not been.  Please have a look.  Thanks!
