Hello, Thanks a lot, but this is not the problem, dual-graphics is disabled.
Here are the settings I'm using in the bios, under CONFIG - DISPLAY: Default Primary Video Device: Internal (alternative is PCI-Express) Boot Display Device: ThinkPad LCD (alternative is Analog VGA) Graphics Device: Integrated Graphics = intel (alternatives are 1. "Discrete Graphics" = ati radeon, 2. "Switchable Mode") OS Detection for Switchable Graphics: Disabled (alternative is "Enabled") Using the ati radeon card crashes too, here is a snip of the output: (II) Setting vga for screen 0. (II) RADEON(0): MMIO registers at 0x00000000cfff0000: size 64KB (EE) RADEON(0): Unable to map MMIO aperture. Invalid argument (22) (EE) RADEON(0): Memory map the MMIO region failed (II) UnloadModule: "radeon" (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Any help is greatly appreciated!
