Hi all,

I am running a Lenovo T520 with two graphic cards on board: Intel an Nvidia.

As you see here it is an GF119M [Quadro NVS 4200M] (rev a1)

(rev a1)

The documentation requires the nvidia-legacy-*390xx* driver to use, but as hard 
as I try, this 
will not work.

However, what is working is the driver nvidia-legacy-*340xx.*

(I am using bumblebee)

This one is working like a charm, but can not be build with kernels newer than 
5.10-18.*. So I 
have to stay with this kernel.

What I believe is, that the documentation from NVidia might be wrong and Nvidia 
told wrong, to 
say 390xx is for NVS4200. 

On the other hand, it might be a bug, that the 340xx can not be build with 
newer kernels (I 
discovered the compilation is crashing due to some missing files. I filed a 
bugreport of this 
almost a year ago), which inhibits users, to use newer kernel-versions.

This is a pity especially for notebooks, where you can not exchange the GPU.

I just wanted to inform you, if someone got into the same trouble as me, 
wondering, why it does 
not run.

Thanks for reading this.

Oh, before someone tells: I do NOT want to use nouveau!

Best regards

Hans
