[OpenIndiana-discuss] NVidia driver Lenovo P52

[Olaf Bohlen]

Hi,

in my process to find a suitable Notebook for daily use, I bought
a Lenovo P52 since it has an NVidia P1000 discrete graphics which
is supported by the drivers OI ships.

However I get an annoying error:

I'm aware that this might be a problem in the driver and/or
firmware, but maybe someone here had a similiar problem and found
a solution for this?

I have set the BIOS option to "discrete graphics" and also updated
to the latest Firmware.

Regards,

Olaf
