I've been working on improvements to suse-prime.
In particular, the ability to turn off the NVIDIA card entirely with bbswitch when not in use. This adds some complexity, but it is worth it as I have noticed my laptop idle power consumption using the Intel card go from 12W to about 6W when the NVIDIA card is powered off and a gain of -10 degrees on the temperature.
You can find a description and instructions on github: https://github.com/bubbleguuum/better-suse-prime
of course, the suse-prime maintainers are encouraged to pick any bits they see fit for the regular package. Hi,
I'm using bumblebee, have you tried to make this script compatible with bumblebee? In most cases I'm happy with optirun, but sometimes (vulkan) I need separate X. ATM I'm using nvidia-xrun script. Have you any hints how to make better-suse-prime to work with bumblebee driver installation?
I started improving suse-prime because I found Bumblebee way too complicated, and looking at its documentation or the Arch Wiki gave me a headache :/. I just needed a way to switch xorg to Intel or NVIDIA, with best battery performance on Intel (thus bbswitch integration). And for NVIDIA I only need it for external monitor support. So suse-prime has limited scope just for switching xorg entirely from a graphic card to another. If a more complex scenario is needed, I guess it is Bumblebee... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
