Great news, found both Mux control methods and now we can switch them at will. Still running some sleep/wake tests but the results seem incredible.
For anyone with these machines and an unsupported DGPU (Nvidia) we can now use external displays!!
(As I don't have an Nvidia card anymore I'll need a volunteer to test turning off the DGPU after the mux switch to save power)
For anyone like me with a supported DGPU, we can now switch the LCD to use the MXM card, so we get full acceleration, DRM, etc... and Intel QuickSync on the side to boot!
(Still debugging wake from sleep though...)
If HP mux control addresses are consistent across different laptops, this could open up the possibility of enabling external displays in other unsupported GPU muxed laptops.
