I have a Lenovo W520 and its horrible for Linux....the dual card setup is crazy, I'm running Fedora 18 on that thing right now with the nVidia proprietary drivers, and has many issues but is the most stable setup I have gotten from Linux on this laptop..I also have a Lenovo T420 and no issues at all with any distro...please stay away from nvidia crap.
- DArcMattr 14y agoI have a T520 with the Nvidia graphic chips on it, and I have had an even worse time of trying to get the thing to work up to its supposed potential. The proprietary driver won't even work on the thing. Fedora/OpenSUSE is about the best I can do for it, with Bumblebee working. I can't even get PC-BSD to run on the thing, even with the Nvidia chips turned off in BIOS. I'll make my next Thinkpad Nvidia free.
- jnamaya 14y agoDo you use external monitors with your setup? As far as I know, you can't run external monitors ( HDMI, VGA, etc ) with Bumblebee...I use discrete mode on my laptop for my HDMI external monitor.
