Thanks Akemi - i know. Thanks to a community of a bright and 
knowledge-sharing ppl we have at least this.
(Linus Torvalds said it nicely a while ago ..(cite) "Fuck you Nvidia!" :]] )

But let's be blunt - it is not perfect, heck, it's not working correctly 
even on M$ windows. I read tons of Win users complains about this.

I think that if i had to (was forced to) buy new laptop for linux 
nowadays, i'd buy most probably something with Kaveri APU from AMD (like 
eg. HP EliteBook 745 G2) .. Intel has good CPUs but bad VGAs and Optimus 
won't help you much, because it means you look at a bad pictures on 
screen most of the time (using Intel Vga).

AMD Kaveri APU has ofc worse CPU part compared to Intel APUs - but - do 
i need the CPU computing power here on laptop - no i dont, but do i need 
good sharp picture? Yes i need that one.
Why should i buy Optimus with Nvidia 1GB Ram card, which is used only 5% 
of time then and 95% time is used ugly Intel VGA?
Haha, i see it just as another clever plot to trick out us, poor users.


Anyway this became a bit offtopic, sorry for that :]]
