Is there other users around, or I'm alone? I think bumblebee is still the best choice in my case, in an older laptop. I would like to try if other people would use it. PRIME would probably work there but it would be awful because this nvidia card is really terrible at powersaving, making this laptop loud and hot while idle. Also, with PRIME offloading in recent hardware I get problems with two screens, and it only works correctly when I set the external monitor on the left side. Its quite annoying. Anyone else has it?

That's the problem. As per https://github.com/openSUSE/SUSEPrime#assumptions this will only work on Tumbleweed.

Prime works fine with most nvidia GPUs, given that you have a compatible nvidia kernel module for them. He was talking about some specific feature, power off, I think?

I haven't said that. Turing is only needed for DynamicPowerManagement, not for NVIDIA's PRIME Render Offload feature.

Desktop? We're talking about laptops here.

we're talking about nvidia turing cards here - so far I've only seen those in high end gaming rigs, where the mainboards don't even HAVE an onboard intel card, but definitely support crossfire... or maybe the occasional alienware "bricktop" (pseudolaptop - way to heavy and powerhungry to actually use it like a laptop, i.e. without its powerbrick). Anyway, so **how** do I set up a Leap 15.1 machine so that the desktop is rendered through the intel card and I can offload openGL stuff to the nvidia card by setting those __NV* variables? I've tried suse-prime that comes with Leap 15.1, I've tried suse-prime from X11:Xorg, all I've managed to get to work is either "pure" intel graphics or "pure" nvidia.

Apparently, yes. That feature you brought up to the discussion is about turning completely off the discrete GPU hardware. I'm writing from a 10 series GPU that does fine even when ran over "pure" nvidia. It's neither hot nor loud.

Isn't there a bit of a drop in performance when you use __NV variables? Or is it the application I'm using? I got that impression and now I'm off intel.

correct me if I'm wrong here: To get this to work I need: the "normal" nvidia driver rpms from the nvidia repo the suse-prime package from X11:Xorg and if my card's before turing, the bbswitch package? and then all I do is "prime-select intel", and then I'll be able to use the __NV variables to get specific apps to use the nvidia card?

Not the suse-prime-bbswitch package, please! Since if you switch to intel mode with that being installed, this will make sure no nvidia kernel modules are loaded any longer in order to be able to switch the NVIDIA GPU off!

ok, so I've installed suse-prime instead of suse-prime-bbswitch, and uninstalled bbswitch and the package with the bbswitch kernel module. bumblebee and primus are also uninstalled.

...is there an OBS repo that I could use to try that? maybe the 15.1 build of X11:Xorg?

That's what I did. Updated xorg-x11-server package and removed some xf86-video-* packages, which still needed the old xorg-x11-server package, but aren't needed on my laptop when using modesetting/nvidia driver.

...is it **safe** to try that? I mean, if it explodes in my face i'd just disable the repo again, and run zypper dup --allow-downgrade, and it should be all well again, shouldn't it?

Nothing is safe nowadays. I won't fix your messed up system later. ;-)

or should I fork the appropriate packages into my home:lemmy04 and try from there?

You could try that, but then you may need to link/rebuild also other xf86-video/input driver packages ...

but once 15.2 is out, prime offloading should work, right?

see, this is why my / is on LVM.

ok so here is what I did now: 1. create LVM snapshot of my root partition 2. add the 15.1 repo of X11:Xorg with prio 98, to make sure everything from there always overrides stuff from the main repo 3. run "zypper dup -l --allow-vendor-change --allow-arch-change --recommends" 4. run "LANG=CTYPE zypper search -si -t package | grep '\''(System Packages)'\''| cut -d '\''|'\'' -f 2,4|sed '\''s/ *| /-/g'\''|xargs -r zypper rm -u" which basically finds all packages that are not available in repos anymore, and offers to remove them 5. install and configure suse-prime 6. select intel: sudo /usr/sbin/prime-select intel 7. create /usr/bin/prime-run with this content: #!/bin/bash # for prime render offloading export __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 export __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia $@ now offloading works, and I can either just pass the variables on the commandline or use prime-run the way I used to use primusrun in the past. Gonna observe the behaviour for a bit, and then maybe delete the snapshots in a week or so. cheers MH -- Mathias Homann Mathias.Homann@openSUSE.org telegram: https://telegram.me/lemmy98 irc: [lemmy] on freenode and ircnet obs: lemmy04 gpg key fingerprint: 8029 2240 F4DD 7776 E7D2 C042 6B8E 029E 13F2 C102 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I've tried suse-prime that comes with Leap 15.1, I've tried suse-prime from X11:Xorg, all I've managed to get to work is either "pure" intel graphics or "pure" nvidia.

...and now not even that is working - for some reason prime-select is not creating the proper config files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d anymore o.0 prime-select get-current tells me "nvidia" but xrandr shows only the intel card... any ideas?
