Ha, I have a W520 with Arch Linux installed and Optimus works really well with bumblebee and Nvidia driver, even with dual and three monitors with dock. You can simply use /xrandr/ and /optirun/ to make that happen. I think this technique will work on Fedora as well, maybe simpler. By the way, I am really looking forward to W540 :) Love Thinkpads! I have another Thinkpad X230 with Arch and everything is working great too. -- Xinyun Zhou -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
