Hi
The story is as follows.
I have a Lenovo TP W520 with a Nvidia Quadro 2000M (with support for Optimus)!
I've tried to use the open-source optimus driver (Bumblebee), but found to many issues I had to deal with. (both on 11.04 and 10.10) - therefore I've accepted the lesser batterytime... and choosed to run with "discrete" option in BIOS - setting Nvidia only mode!
I can't use the 11.04, as I need iFolder (and can't get it to work with this edition, by the way I see the following problems on 11.04 too) - as a result I am using 10.10 (64-bit).
I have installed the Nvidia proprietary driver, and when attached to my dockingstation (connected to an switchbox) the laptop boots fine every time! But out of the dock, the laptop hangs at "running /scripts/init-bottom" during boot!
To resolve this I've tried this (http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/)(used the "nomodeset" option)... after this, it pass the "running..." every 4-5 time
After this I tried to upgrade the driver as described here (http://www.multimediaboom.com/how-to-install-nvidia-display-driver-260-19-36-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick/)... this may have helped - a tinytiny bit
Last effort was to add "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint (MatchIsPointer "on")" and "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard (MatchIsKeyboard "on")" to "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf" according to this (http://maarten.hondelink.com/index.php/No_Keyboard/mouse_when_upgrading_from_9.04_to_10.04_%28linux_M int_7_upto_9%29)... now it boot's fine every time... but at login, the login-box disappears and everything freezes! But if I choose "Safe Mode" i can login.
I'm a hopeless newbie with Ubuntu, and I'm fresh out of ideas - please help!#-o
by the way... I was thinking about trying the OpenSouce 3D driver I've seen in 11.04 - but I can't find it to 10.10 - anyone? :confused:
