Sadly I can't. I have 2 Thinkpads with this GPU (Core i7 T420, Core i7
W520) and it is built in -- it can't be replaced.

If upstream has dropped it then there is little that can be done but a
warning when I upgraded to Mantic would have been good! I got nothing, I
just lost PRIME offload.

Secondly, I feel it would be the Ubuntu spirit to automatically _remove_
the no-longer-supported driver and configure Nouveau instead. So far I
have spent hours on this and cannot get it working. It is very
frustrating indeed.
