I have to start X manually to avoid endless crash and reboot loops when an update enables optimus. The internet is sadly lacking in the sort of technical details needed to come up with a robust configuration that doesn't get trashed by updates. > > One point in particular: I have a docking station, but I've never been > able to get video out when docked.

We have various Dell Latitude E6X30 models (but without NVIDIA discrete graphics) and PRO3X docking stations that have 3 output connectors DisplayPort, DVI, VGA), but even on Windows, only the VGA and DVI ever worked, and DVI was problematic. I assumed the DIsplayPort requires the discrete graphics, but Dell SLN115952 indicates that the DVI port on a "E-port Plus Port Replicator" (VGA, two DVI and two DIsplayPort connectors) can be used with Intel HD graphics. -- George N.
