nvidia-driver fails to load gui
Hey All, More new laptop woes. The good-ish news is that the VESA driver works, but x11/nvidia-driver doesn't. I'm on a Lenovo Y50-70. When I run `startx`, it appears that xorg switches to a new vty, but doesn't actually bring up the UI. I see a new console (as in vty) with a cursor at the top left corner. xorg.conf is pasted here: http://ix.io/1Dr Xorg.0.log is pasted here: http://ix.io/1Dq I'll just use the VESA driver for now, but it'd be nice to be able to hook the laptop up to a second monitor or a projector, which I can't do with the VESA driver.

I'm afrad that the nvidia card would not work either, at least for the internal LCD. Some optimus cards only provide 3d acceleration, and some are only connected to HDMI/DisplayPort outputs. Have you tried other outputs on the laptop?

The second version worked fine for me (including xorg-experimental repo w/ the Intel 3.0beta driver). Note however that this does not really include Haswell support according to kib@ but he seems to run it on a Haswell system. Maybe this helps? Other than that, I have heard to news (and I am eager to test...).
