Hi all, After much struggling with Fedora 23 and CentOS 7 on a new Thinkpad P70, I failed to get things working well. With all stock install/updates, using "hybrid" graphics (intel + nvidia m600m), I would get a black bar along the bottom of the screen that wouldn't display, but was there (I could type, but not see what I typed, in full screen terminals for example). If I switched to pure nvidia (discrete mode), I would get 1024x768 on the nouveau drivers. I tried the RPMfusion nvidia drivers and it would work for a short time only. First time that I suspended the laptop, I'd lose the screen for good, even after a power cycle (text mode during boot would show, but nothing when gnome started), but I could SSH into it so the system was OK. So on and so forth with Fedora, CentOS, EPEL kernel-ml, etc. I decided to try ubuntu, just to see if it was linux itself, but it appears to work out of the box. So I am pretty sure that Linux in general is OK (at least workable). It's a 4k screen on the laptop, for what it matters. My question then is this; How/what can I do, as a user, to help improve support for this machine under Fedora (and RHEL/CentOS)? I'm a sysadmin who works with EL, so I'd really like to make this machine work in fedora where I am most comfortable. :) Thanks! -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
