Are you using PCI passthrough in your T410 for any of the VMs, or spice qxl based graphics for both. Does the Thinkpad have optimus nvidia card?

I have a T520 with nvidia optimus, which I thought would be good for vfio pci passthrough based on r/vfio, because of it being mux based display, and nvidia having direct connection to external display. but for some reason couldn’t get it to work. I think it was because of uefi not being supported by the nvidia card, and bios mode having problem with vgaarb.

No, it doesn’t have optimus, just the nvidia with no intel. Is the t520’s card supported by nvidia still?
