T400 - Switchable Graphics Issue
Since I got the laptop, I've been running on the ATI graphics card that came with the laptop. Not through switchable graphics, but by actually selecting it in the BIOs at startup.
I've been noticing some weird quirks with it though. For instance, it seems to take forever to get up from sleep and takes forever to go to sleep. It also seems to take a load of time to shut down. I'm not entirely sure if these are video issues, maybe more like memory issues. But just from switching to the integrated video card things are a lot snappier. I think I'll be leaving it on integrated till I actually need to dedicated video card.Edit:
I think I found the culprit. It may not have been the switchable graphics at all...I think it was my 5 in 1 card reader that I installed as a PCMCIA slot. First off, it doesn't work properly. Second off, when there's a card in there it appears as though the darned thing doesn't play nice with sleep.
