I now have found out that using Kernel-3.2.6, and starting with elilo (grub2 with efi has similar result) having both Adapters working, on has to  use the
parameters noaccel=1 and nofbaccel=1 so that the driver is loaded. It will find both adapters, the screen will be scrambled in console (I have not started X,
because I need the acceleration, or the driver will be of no use).

So to sum up:
Either you want 9400M with acceleration then:
use gpupwr to disable the 9600M GT and load nouveau without any parameters. The console will be visible then and one can use X.

Or (I have no idea why someone would need this, but for the sake of documentation):
load nouveau with noaccel=1 and nofbaccel=1.

So for the moment it looks like acceleration-code for 9600M GT seems to be broken, as well as vga_switcheroo.
