On Thinkpad W520 with 11.10 beta I can set the bios three ways, each with problems * intel only - boots and runs fine, but cannot use display port or vga, which means no external monitors at all :( Doesn't even detect that they are there * nvidia only - used to boot but stopped with some update,

@madbiologist: that only works if you can switch between intel and nvidia cards completely in the BIOS, not for laptops like mine where the intel card must always be active because there is no connection between the nvidia card and the laptop screen. FYI, bumblebee has now branched into two

An alternative approach for some Optimus laptops was added to the Linux 3.0 kernel which will be used by the upcoming Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot - see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_itempx=OTQzMA for further details (this article refers to the 2.6.40 kernel but it was decided to

His solution is now much better, running a separate X server to provide the acceleration when specified but still preserving the intel chip acceleration when not using nvidia: https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee It still doesn't fix the problem where say HDMI is attached to the nvidia chip and

** Description changed: Over a year after its release, there is still no Optimus support in Linux, either in nvidia-current or in the nouveau driver. Unless there is a BIOS setting that allows you to turn off the Intel iGPU, the only workaround is to use the Intel iGPU and, if possible,
