Hi there SUSE people, I’ve enjoyed using the system for the past year or so.
I just got a new hard drive for my Laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad T400), so I decided to install the latest version of openSUSE (I was previously using version 10.2 I think) however I have one problem:
my t400 has this feature called “switchable graphics”, basically it can use the integrated intel graphics chipset or the more power hungry ATI one.
I know most Linux distros do not support this feature and its ok, I only plan on running SUSE with the intel gpu (I value my battery life a lot), however since the laptop has no instructions on what to do, it tends to run both gpus consuming my battery like crazy.
In my 10.2 install I managed to stop the ATI gpu from running but I really dont recall how I did it, any instructions or workarounds so I can finally go ahead and install 11.2?
