I found something workaround in UBUNTU 11.04 and 11.10 to activate Nvidia Quadro NVS 4200M, but its not solution that i am looking for. I am able to use Nvidia Card but not OPtimus technology. Ubuntu system still not able to switch between intel and Nvidia card as per load. what i have done is below.
1. Download Nvidia Driver having name (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10.run) 2. Move to CLI mode and stop gdm or lightdm service 3. Make NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10.run executable and then run it. 4. Once its done then i restart system. 5. Go to bios and then uncheck Nvidia OPtimus technology (when you uncheck it, then you see that your system is going to use Nvidia Card) 6. Now you are able to use Nvidia Quadro NVS 4200M. Correct me, if i miss something here. I hope this issue will be solved in coming UBUNTU Desktop version.
