I will add that unsurprisingly these problems exist with the dock as well. I have through trial and error been unable to find a good stable solution with 64bit whether integrated or discrete graphics used. I am going to try the bios update before taking more drastic measures. The ACPI ones

Following up, the gnome power settings workaround helped slightly, but I still got lots of crashes and unsuspend failures. I did end up going w/ 32 bit Ubuntu 11.04 + nVidia binary driver and things are working quite smoothly now, albeit with 1/2 the bits :-P Changing the brightness works great

In my case the W520 always freezes after Grub and before reaching the login screen when Discrete Graphics is enabled in the BIOS. I've tried BIOS version 1.06, 1.22 and the latest 1.25 (1.25 on the Lenovo website but 1.24 when flashed), with the same result. I've read

I'm stuck with this issue too. I noticed through experimentation that this doesn't happen with 32 bit 11.04. Maybe that will be a clue for somebody? I was on the verge of moving to the 32 bit version when I discovered this launchpad bug and the workaround. Whew! -- You received this bug

I have the same issue on all our new W520 in the lab. Some of them have the 1000M GPU, other the 2000M. As soon as I switch to discrete graphics mode, I experience the issues described above. All works fine when switching to integrated graphics. But on the other hand, when I change brightness
