A little chuckle to start the day ;-)

Nvidia's Linux support is generally pretty decent these days; however, the one issue that gets the middle digit moving in their direction is power management in a multi-head laptop setup. Ouch, max power = heat = fan noise.

I had to flash the VBIOS in order to force the chip into low power mode (not a gamer, just need to drive multiple displays).

Doesn't help that they remove PM features from anything but their high end chips; have a K2000M here, nvidia-smi shows a bunch of N/A, can't do diddly.
