Hi Mike,if you find those links again, could you post them here, or even better provide a link list on the launchpad website?
thanks

But I *can* load the Nvidia binaries, even that no chance to get my dGPU running?I believe the answer here is no. At least you won't be able to see the output of the Nvidia GPU. In Optimus laptops, the Nvidia GPU is not connected to the actual display, instead it just renders into the same surface as the IGP which then displays the image. So while the driver may load and it may even be rendering the X desktop for you, it has no way of actually sending the output to the screen. I'm sure I have messed up some details, but that is the basic idea. I don't have the links handy, but there are a few forum posts around that explain this in more detail. Also Nvidia have released an Optimus whitepaper, that goes into plenty of detail. /mike.
