Hi,

Thanks for the hint, but already tried that. My bios is extremely option-poor. Time settings, boot options, supervisor password... that's all. No way to force any kind of graphics :-(

Cheers,

Michal,
I was able to go into the BIOS and specifically set nVidia to be always on for my computer (Thinkpad T410) - however I could have also done the same to specify only Intel graphics. You should check that out and see what you can find. Also - I had to force it to not search for Optimus support within the OS to keep it from reverting any settings I had.

Cheers,
David

    Welcome all,

    I just got my hands on Asus N53SV with hybrid graphics:
    - Intel Core i7-2630QM
    - Intel HD Graphics 3000
    - nVidia GeForce GT 540M
    - Linux Mint 10 64-bit

    ... and realized (just like everyone else) how deep s**t did I
    step into. Anyway if anyone needs some testing to be done I am
    eager to help. I just need some easy-to-follow tutorial on how to
    set up the testing environment and what to test (I have experience
    as a linux user + tons of experience as a windows developer, but
    zero experience as a linux developer).

    After hours of reading I managed to learn that I won't be able to
    use nVidia card at this time and I am stuck with Intel. Does
    anyone know how to enable at least Intel integrated graphics card?
    Normally Intel cards work out-of-the-box on linux, but in this
    case it does not.

    Cheers,
