With high hopes I selected a Lenovo/IBM product (Linux certified) with a 2 Gb Nvidia card. The setup is not too bad to achieve cl operation but the further setup to allow vga output is onerous.

Under Linux this whole scene appears to be 'under development' by both the Linux community as well as by the card manufacturers.
