Installing NVIDIA Driver on Lenovo ThinkPad T430

[Oliver Ruebenacker <curoli@xxxxxxxxx>]

     Hello,

  I'm having some problems with using dual monitors on my Lenovo ThinkPad T430 with Fedora 19 and KDE and want to see if installing the manufacturer provided driver helps. This laptop has two GPUs:

   - Intel Integrated HD Graphics
   - Discrete NVIDIA NVS 5400M (1 GB VRAM) with Optimus Technology

  So I want to install the driver provided by NVIDIA for 64-bit Linux.

  I tried http://forums.if-not-true-then-false.com/index.php/topic,595.0.html
 

  where step 5d caused some warning or error I did not understand and step 5e failed saying you can not install the kernel module except on top of a driver configuration.

  I have:

[oruebenacker@localhost ~]$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 3.11.6-200.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 18 22:34:18 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  Any advice? Thanks!

     Best,

     Oliver
