Who has such a machine and can document the workarounds needed? If there's a significant number of systems affected in the same way maybe it's even worth to put that in the release notes¹ so $searchengine can find it.
I know someone with a Nvidia Optimus laptop that doesn't work properly with 15.0, but did with previous releases. We have tried several times to help, but apparently unsuccessfully. I can ask him brand and model. I don't remember if there is a bugzilla.
I dare to point at the hardware section in the wiki² as it is horribly outdated. Maybe someone wants to step up and take the lead there to fill it with life again?
There was someone that created a package to populate a database with hardware details for every willing user. But only for TW. Not more than a year ago. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
