    Display Port on ThinkPad W520 [nVidia Optimus]

    Hello guys, I am bought older but still great laptop Lenovo ThinkPad W520. There is several issues in Kubuntu 13.04 like troubles with UEFI, but nothing really serious.

    But I need to solve one issue regarding nVidia Optimus...

    I have installed latest nVidia proprietary driver 325 already and Bumblebee + Primus as well, so nVidia Optimust is working well if I will launch requested application with "primusrun".
    Only thing which I need to solve now is external display via Display Port. Because Display Port is connected to the discrete nVidia graphic adapter in Optimus mode and primary used graphic adapter is integrated Intel then I can't find way how to switch screen to external monitor.

    I am found several guides based on patched Intel xorg driver, but they are little bit old and available patch is not compatible with Intel xorg driver used in Raring.

    Because nVidia proprietary driver natively support Optimus already I hope that should exist some easy way how to solve it, but I can't find it.

    I will very appreciate every help in this case. Thank you.
Working...
