Re: Hack to get Lenovo IdeaPad Y470/Y570 working with bbswitch/bumblebee/nvidia/nouveau

 

Hi Roy,

I've received Github notifications, your mail and this mailing list
message. Next time
you can use either tool.

As answered on
https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bbswitch/issues/2#issuecomment-5430974,
the hack is supposed to work as there are no major changes that could
prevent it
from working.

Regards,
Peter
