IIUC from a Lenovo Y470 datasheet
https://shop.lenovo.com/ISS_Static/WW/wci/us/ww/pdf/y470_datasheet_us.pdf
you have a NVidia graphic card and support for switching between that card and the (probably intel) videochip on your motherboard.

If that's correct, then this is a duplicate of bug 15734

In that case, please read
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_5_Errata#Computers_with_hybrid_graphics
and
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_5_Errata#NVIDIA_Optimus_support_and_known_limitations

and close this bug as a duplicate of bug 15734.

However, if I'm wrong: please give the exact specifications of your Idea Pad
