I've been using quite a number of Thinkpads and among them is a T520 with optimus hybrid graphics. With this model the docking station with external monitors or an additional monitor without docking station never worked exept with MS Windows. This was a real PITA for me... So if I had the choice I would never ever buy an optimus system again. cu, Uwe
