I am working on lenovo z570 under opensuse/kde To exploit its nvidia graphic card with firefox, konqueror, chrome, okular, and more applications i have set suitable alias commands in /etc/zshrc to put optrun64 before. Yet, restoring session does not re-execute optirun64, probably because the alias file has not been read by the kde session manager. Any hints?

Any suggestions for better ways to globally put a command before the desired applications?

make a script to start your program. not familiar with "optirun..", and googling doesn't present opensuse association, more umbuntu/bumblebee. Please enlighten me. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi again, Paolo.

Is the typo just here in your e-mail or also on the commanline?

"optrun64" /= "optirun64" :-)

Yes, my mistake, it is optirun64 To answer Patrick, optirun is part of the Bumblebee package, by which you can use your nVidia card for rendering graphics which will be displayed using the Intel card. M laptop has two graphic cards, intel and nvidia, the latter one, more powerful, being intended to be used for games, I would like to use for my ordimary office activities. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=bumblebee&project=home%3ABumblebee- Project%3ABumblebee-develop Paolo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Maybe I'm too simple but why not just disable the intel video card in
