Lenovo W520/T520/T530 Boot Instructions for Fedora 17
In order to get external displays working on Fedora 17+ with recent Lenovo laptops containing Optimus graphics you need to perform a few steps.
1. Enter bios, go to Config > Display
2. Change display to Discrete graphics (disable Optimus since Linux doesn't support it yet)
3. Set the default boot screen to Digital on Dock (if you have one)
4. Reboot
5. At grub2 loading screen, hit e to edit the boot params
6. Find the line that starts with `linux` and add ` nox2apic` to the end of it
7. Boot linux (ctrl-x maybe?)
8. Once booted and logged in, run `sudo nano /etc/default/grub` from the terminal

Got sick of the terrible handling of application shortcuts by window managers, so here are some rough steps to build a custom version of Chromium that works with Gnome Shell on Gnome 3 for Fedora Core 16
# Based on:
# http://hacktux.com/fedora/source/rpm
# http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Chromium
# http://codereview.chromium.org/7562022/patch/1/2
# as root
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/spot/chromium-stable/fedora-chromium-stable.repo
yum -y install yum-utils rpmdevtools elfutils-libeld-devel libXt-devel
