Installation
Optimus
- BIOS
- The OS Detect option does not work. If enabled, it will present Optimus to Ubuntu.
- If graphics are set to Optimus, Ubuntu will default to using Intel graphics.
- If graphics are set to Discrete, Ubuntu will default to using Nvidia. If dual-booting windows, this will cause problems with the default lenovo system image - possible (untested) fix is to manually reinstall nvidia drivers in windows.
- If graphics are set to Integrated, Ubuntu will default to using Intel graphics.
- The current kernel provided by Ubuntu conflicts with the Nvidia driver. Until Ubuntu upgrades to a newer kernel, you must manually install one.
