I am buying a new laptop, most likely a dell 6340. My choices for video are intel 4000 and nvidia nvs 5200M.
An important consideration is that I use (via an E-port replicator) a 30" 2560x1600 monitor Dell (not surprisingly) recommends the nvidia saying they are not sure the 4000 will be good enough for watching DVDs. Assuming that is right, I want to be sure there is *some* driver for it. I would prefer nouveau as it has been trouble free for me with my current laptop, but I don't see the nvs 5200M listed. For the nvidia driver I see that the "quadro nvs series" is supported (for 290.10.00 and newer). Am I right that this includes the nvs 5200M. Has anyone experience with these graphics cards? Also how bad would it be with the intel 4000 and my hi-res display? thanks, allan
