He has posted about it a few times. He has a laptop with dual intel-nvidia video (ie, optimus), and it simply fails in 15.0, but works on 42.x.
I would give 15.1 a try, though, maybe it has been silently solved.
at least burn 15.1 (live) to a usb stick and boot to try w/o making local changes to his system. but ...
Won't suffice. He needs to try the optimus setup with the proprietary driver, for his kind of work. This requires at least a small test partition on the laptop (which I always create), or alternatively, install to an external USB disk. Hopefully USB3, with the caveat that some machines can not boot from USB3 sockets. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
