</span>It should and it does: that's almost exactly the same setup I have on my<br>
desktop box (albeit the nvidia card is setup as the boot device).<br>

The Geforce GT 330M is apparently a mobile device.<br>
What is your hardware exactly ? If this is a laptop, it is possible the two<br>
GPUs are not independent but use something marketed as "optimus technology"<br>
which is currently unsupported by the DragonFly graphics stack.<br>
