[Panic] Need advice with switchable graphic cards on Ubuntu (9.10 - 10.04b). My older notebook has to be replaced. Selection: new ThinkPad T410/T410s/T510. Specs. see [1] These models are offered with a switchable graphic card.
Integrated Intel® 5
nVIDIA® switchable NVS3100M 512MB [all models]
Or
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD - AMT [all models]
Can I use the nVIDIA card [battery autonomy or switching card back and forth is not a concern] and how? Or this is currently a bad idea and I am better off with the Intel configuration? I am also wondering if newer kernels and 10.04 public release will support integrated graphic card?
I have never seen/used switchable graphic cards. Where is the switch [BIOS or GUI]?
