At http://ark.intel.com/products/75119/Intel-Core-i7-4702MQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_20-GHz is " Status Launched Launch Date Q2'13 Processor Number i7-4702MQ " and " Processor Graphics ‡ Intel® HD Graphics 4600 Graphics Base Frequency 400 MHz Graphics Max Dynamic Frequency 1.15 GHz Graphics Output eDP/DP/HDMI/VGA Max Resolution (HDMI) 3840x2160@60Hz Max Resolution (DP) 3840x2160@60Hz Max Resolution (VGA) 2880x1800@60Hz DirectX* Support 11.1 OpenGL* Support 4.3 Intel® Quick Sync Video Yes Intel® InTru™ 3D Technology Yes Intel® Insider™ Yes Intel® Wireless Display Yes Intel® Flexible Display Interface (Intel® FDI) Yes Intel® Clear Video HD Technology Yes # of Displays Supported ‡ 3 Device ID 416 " And at http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/ is "Debian 6.0.0 was initially released on February 6th, 2011." And at http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/ is "Debian 7.0 was initially released on May 4th, 2013." So the computer does not work properly (in terms of the graphics, anyway) with either Debian 6 or Debian 7, and will not so work, unless and until a new driver is created for it, for those operating systems, so the computer will apparently work best with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, unless and until appropriate drivers are available for Debian 6 and 7. So I guess that I now have to, after about two years, give up on trying to get it to work with Debian 6 and 7; and, the problem appears to be notsomuch with a lack of nvidia drivers, as with a lack of Intel drivers. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
