[qubes-users] Notebook with Nvidia Quadro graphics card

2019-12-28 Thread Lorenzo Lamas
Thanks for the reply. Do you know when the option to only use integrated 
graphics was removed? The models i’m looking at are 4th gen i7 CPU’s with 
Quadro K1100M/1200M. Unfortunately, a lot of business laptops have changed to 
prefer sleek design over performance, and use the slower U versions of Intel 
CPU’s. The ones that do have a proper CPU usually also have a discrete Nvidia 
or AMD graphics card.

[qubes-users] Notebook with Nvidia Quadro graphics card

2019-12-28 Thread brendan . hoar
Older laptops w/ Optimus allowed choosing Integrated-only video (vs hybrid or 
vs Discrete). I set up my W520 w/ the Integrated intel cpu and it has been a 
workhorse.

Contemporary laptops w/ Optimus only allow Hybrid or Discrete. No way to choose 
just Integrated. Qubes 4.0 and lower don’t handle this very well w/o a lot of 
boot parameter fiddling and custom X config.

However...

I just tested a test build (20191227) of R4.1 using Fedora 31 dom0 and 5.4 
kernel on a Thinkpad P52 (2018 model w/ Optimus on a Quadra P3200). Other than 
a bit of blind navigation during the first boot part of the install (and some 
strategic Bios settings such as setting discrete graphics), it installed ok. 
Changing screen resolution results in a black screen (fixed via ctrl-alt-f2 
then ctrl-alt-f1). 

Probably would work much better after installing nvidia drivers via 
rpmfusion-nonfree. But not unusable.

[qubes-users] Notebook with Nvidia Quadro graphics card

2019-12-28 Thread Lorenzo Lamas
Hi,

I may buy a notebook for Qubes with integrated Intel HD graphics 4600, but it 
also comes with a Nvidia Quadro graphics card. Will that be a problem for 
Qubes? Is there someway I can force it to use the integrated graphics to avoid 
problems?
