    hey out there.
    i have tried to install ubuntu on my t500. i had to disable switcheble graphics in the bios to be able to install ubuntu. i went with the integrated intel card because i need the extra time i can get out of the battery and because i can live with having to go to bios to switch graphics the few times i would like to play games in vista.

    but i have a problem.

    when i am booting vista it i tells me that no ati card has been found (offcause not) and aero + my screen magnifier dosn't work.

    shoulden't the computer just automaticly use the intel driver?

    are there any fix so i am able to use my intel graphics card, reboot to bios, then enable my ati card and be able to use that afterwards?

    hope someone can help.

    thanks
    kind regards
    kenneth brodersen
