That only means that, if something goes wrong, you're on your own (at
least as far as NVIDIA are concerned). Support for Optimus is something
that we provide using our own system. What the NVIDIA driver supports is
part of the RandR 1.4, which we use for Optimus.

I won't comment on the screen switching issue, unless I see the relevant
logs (in a separate bug report), as it could depend on a number of
things (including your hardware configuration).
