That is well known on this list. Nothing new so far or did I miss something? Does that BIOS work 100% with Windows 7? I unlocked my BIOS (R2168M3) with an efi boot stick but I prefer to switch the graphic chip with the kernel commandline passed by grub, using "VGA Switching Policy = [auto]" > and set it to "Static".

The knowledge how to switch without Windows is present on this mailing list since "felt milleniums" ;-) Maybe reading this Mailing list a little bit more helps you to get such solutions faster in future ;-) > Only Problem so far is rebooting...it always hangs when linux tries a > reboot. You seem to use a too old BIOS. Read the archive of this list there are solutions to solve that.
