My daugher needs a new laptop. She is used to linux, so she wants it on the new laptop. One candidate is an Asus N752VX-GC084T. Anyone has experience with it running Opensuse ? The PC has two graphical chips (NVidia Optimus ?). Does this work with linux nowadays ?
Isn't one graphics chip used in low-power mode, and the other in full-power mode? I have never gotten Linux to use both. So I disable one in the BIOS and let it use the other. I would be happy to know if there is a better way.

So, if my info is correct, being able to disable one of the graphics chips may be nice.
That was possible at first, but not on the later chipsets. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
