Greetings from South Louisiana!

Well, I've had a long-time love, hate, and nightmare relationship with Amiga for nearly half a century. Love Amiga, hate the current prices (or past prices for that matter), and have recurrent nightmares about Varta batteries and capacitors.

I've stumbled upon AROS a few times in the past. Have a 32bit icaros running on an Acer Aspire ZG5 and a Lenovo IdeaPad s10-2 with as modified BIOS for WiFi. Also have a V2 500 and V4 2000 setups, along with MorphOS based QuadMac. But recently I ran into a post on the new nVidia driver for 64 bit and USB3 support. I knocked the dust of an old HP dv6700 (GF8400M) and have it running but I was thinking of trying a more modern (less Bumpgate) laptop and how far I can modify the unit for compatibility.

Well, I purchased a used Lenovo Yoga P40 with Quadro M500M graphics (Maxwell GM108 based). Made it to a pretty VESA install in FHD, but alas no native graphics as of yet... so to be continued in that subforum later. I'm thinking it maybe a hybrid graphics issue and it defaults to the intel iGPU on boot. I haven't done any bios mods as of yet as the stock UEFI does not have options for setting a primary GPU.

Anyway, thanks for having me!
