Hi all,
I am running a Lenovo T520 with two graphic cards on board: Intel an Nvidia.
As you see here it is an GF119M [Quadro NVS 4200M] (rev a1)

The documentation requires the nvidia-legacy-390xx driver to use, but as hard as I try, this will not work.
However, what is working is the driver nvidia-legacy-340xx.
(I am using bumblebee)
This one is working like a charm, but can not be build with kernels newer than 5.10-18.*. So I have to stay with this kernel.
What I believe is, that the documentation from NVidia might be wrong and Nvidia told wrong, to say 390xx is for NVS4200.
On the other hand, it might be a bug, that the 340xx can not be build with newer kernels (I discovered the compilation is crashing due to some missing files. I filed a bugreport of this almost a year ago), which inhibits users, to use newer kernel-versions.
This is a pity especially for notebooks, where you can not exchange the GPU.
I just wanted to inform you, if someone got into the same trouble as me, wondering, why it does not run.
Thanks for reading this.
Oh, before someone tells: I do NOT want to use nouveau!
Best regards
Hans
