Yes, but I updated to i810 driver v. 1.6 from the testing repository and
it supports it fine. In any case, switching should work in console mode
without using X at all.

I should mention that I already tried this approach. Xorg says that both
pipes A and B are enabled. However, not only switching does not work,
but even reading from /proc/acpi/ibm/video immediately freezes up the
machine and it has to be rebooted. I already contacted the i810
maintainer about this and his response was that this is a kernel ACPI
problem.
