[jmsalvat]

Hi all ,
I am thinking of buying this very laptop and I am looking for some info about it's linux compatibility.
So I hope a asus u47vc can help me with this

Basicly my concerne is about multiple display .
I am used to work with laptop screen + monitor screen.
This laptop use optimus technology.

I know I can have this work with 2 monitor using hdmi if
1-there is an option in the bios to select witch video card I want to use.
is there such option in the bios?

2-if the hdmi port is wired to intel card and not to the nvidia one

Anyone know if it is ?Or did try dual monitor set-up with linux?
I am very interesed in this laptop and this would be a deal breaker.

I hope somone can shred some light on this....
Thanks in advance
by the way I think this lapotp is using UEFI by default, it should be possible to use it with bios mode as well no?

HI,

Hope that help
