laptop with dual GFX = PITA

[FatRakoon]

My Linux Laptop has ATI GFX and its fine. I have no issues with it, other than its starting to show its age and its struggling with a few games a little bit.

My main Laptop, is currently running Windows and it is a dual Graphics job, of Intel and nVidia.

I have tried to install various Linux's onto this Laptop with varying levels of fail.

I am starting to wonder if it is even possible to. I am sure that it will be me of course, as it usually is, but has anyone actully managed to get Linux installed onto such a laptop?

The Laptop that I am trying to ue, is my old Clevio WS650

Thanks in advance.

Just to bring this back up, I have once again installed Linux, and it has gone in squeaky, and it works a treat, however, I jsut cannot for the life of me, get the nVidia graphicsto play ball?

I have installed the nvidia drivers but they dont seem to want to know me or the card?

Other than that, the laptop seems to be working fine now.

I have put on MiNT 17.2 KDE 64Bit version

Ok, well a quick look at that, looks somewhat positive, if perhaps a little restricting.

Maybe it will require scripts from any icons, but lets see how it goes, I will certainly be having a look if nothing else.

Thank you for that
