Well - this works quite well currently - I followed the old procedure
from this list
and have no issues - currently I am running only intel card and there is no
nvidia on lspci. (I have Z31XN)
Search this list for janitor script which is the current way to set it
up under linux..

PS. I am quite happy with the laptop - it is small, light, the LCD is
fantastic and the
overall design is quite esthetically pleasing (which cannot be said
for the majority of
laptops - apart from Macs)..
