Hello folks,
My wife's laptop has an optimus type graphics hardware. It has both an onboard Intel and also a discrete Nvidia card. It has installed OS 13.2 stock KDE. This installation only accesses the intel card - the only current way to access the Nvidia card is by using the Bumblebee package. However, I want to use only the Nvidia card and bypass the intel card (as if the laptop only had the nVidia card).
Hello, what brand is it? Can You set in BIOS which card to use? If not, I'm afraid this is sometimes not possible. I'm not sure about exact reason, but at least for some models because of HW construction, the primary graphical output must go through Intel graphics. Someone more skilled can give You better explanation. I was looking for same solution and I realized it is impossible, at least for my case (HP envy dv6). Sorry for bad news, Vojtěch
Hi Vojtech,
I checked the BIOS, but there is no possible configuration of the Intel or the nVidia card. I looked at the Wikipedia article. Do you have nay links for information more recent than the OS forums thread I(2013/2014) I mentioned? Thanks, Gustav
Hi, I have only this reference: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_Bumblebee It worked for me on 13.1/13.2. But it doesn't solve Your problem... It works for particular application, but not for whole system, KDE, whatever. On release party of latest Fedora (in Prague), one of developers mentioned they are working on new Linux implementation of Optimus as they don't like Bumblebee for some technical reasons. But of course I have no idea when it will be ready and I have no written reference or link... There were some discussions about that topic in the list previously: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2014-12/msg00078.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2014-06/msg00405.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2013-10/msg00924.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2013-08/msg00139.html Good luck, Vojtěch -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/
