Comment 19 for bug 1706474

Good news from my side; I just updated everything on th ThinkPad W520, an
old Optimus laptop. the Uubntu 17.10 desktop now works with hybrid
graphics, prime sync and gdm3 using the latest updates (pre-release
channel). I have not added any PPAs so it's using the 375 driver currently
in the 17.10 repository.
