Fedora 22 Workstation Beta Release Candidate 1

[Joerg Lechner]

Hi,
my laptop is an Acer E15 E5-571G. Hybrid Grafics (Intel/Nvidia Geforce 840M). No problems in installing and using Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64_Beta-1.iso
so far.

We don't think it's 'AMD
users', because we've tested other systems 
with AMD graphics adapters and they
work fine. But it *may* be 'hybrid 
graphics laptops', which would be something
of a problem because 
there's a lot of those.

So can I ask the list: can anyone
who has a laptop with hybrid 
graphics (one with two adapters, one Intel, one
higher-powered AMD or 
NVIDIA) boot the F22 Beta RC1 Workstation live image and
let us know 
if they successfully reach a desktop? Thanks! It'd be good to have

more data on how widespread this problem is.
