Bug Description

I don't have NVIDIA hardware but I package gnome-shell.

Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 has GNOME 3.24. It would be great if the new support for hybrid graphics worked.

(The GNOME part is step 6 in that blog post.)

Could you look into seeing if this works? And if it doesn't work, could you report what doesn't work so it can be mentioned in the Release Notes for those wondering about the feature?
