They're still working on getting everything properly supported with those dual-graphics-card laptops. The bits and pieces under the hood apparently don't work quite the way they were described as working in the specifications, which sometimes causes weird problems.
Is it just me, or are all linux installers basketcases these days?
Gentoo's installer is still the same as it ever was! :-P Of course, everyone seems to want an installer to be everything, do everything, and support everything, and those things are not really possible.
(OTOH, I was impressed when a Gentoo install on a Macbook Pro detected a Thunderbolt->display port adapter, saw the monitor, activated it, and pulled up the KDE screen configuration utility which said "Display configuration changed. Is this how you'd like your screen set up?" I hadn't explicitly enabled anything like that anywhere, and wasn't expecting it to work because of other people reporting problems with Thunderbolt hotplugging under Linux.)
