Noveau on old NVidia GPUs?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Looks like that laptop has a Kepler generation GPU (NVE0). Accourding to the Nouveau feature matrix, these cards are almost completely supported (you might have power management issues and need external firmware to access the built-in accelerated video decoders). Switching back and forth between onboard video and the nvidia card may have additional issues.
