Intel HDxxxx support is very experimental, even if in changelog there is
"support for i915 cards". Personally, I dont speak about support but
"very very highly experimental support under development".

The discrete card cannot be used as a dedicated card, you'll get no
result with it until support of Optimus in nVidia's driver (if I guess
your discrete card is an nVidia one).

I tried many things with i915 cards until giving up because it crash my
UFS partitions…
