Hello,
I still suffer from my expensive useless laptop. Besides that the nvidia card is not running no way, even the intel graphics makes problems:
sometimes (often!) one window or one message (like the alert when mails arrive) flickers.
In text windows like this email or in kwrite or in console sometimes the text hops up and down some lines, sometimes freshly written text appears and disappears and the former text lines reformat. Sometimes a website in firefox (or any other browser) flickers, hops up and down for maybe 50 pixels, sometimes in digikam the album tree appears and disappears.
You are using the intel driver( xf86-video-intel). That one has the same issues on my laptop, it's hardly usable. Likely mentioned before: Remove it (rpm -e xf86-video-intel). Then the default Mesa modesetting driver should be used. That one does run better. I'm on Tumbleweed, there the latest version of modesetting has issues with changing resolution (e.g., via xrandr) but 42.3 is likely not affected by that.
So: still the question: is there any way to make the nvidia graphics run on Linux?
Depends what you call 'make run'. I'm also having an optimus (HD530/940MX) on my Lenovo T460p. I only use it for some programs. For that I use bumblebee, from the X11:Bumblebee repository. IIRC there's a portal page somewhere. basically you need bumblebee, primus, bbswitch, nvidia-bumblebee (and their dependencies). I can nicely run stuff on my nvidia card using optirun application e.g., woodstock:~% optirun glxspheres Polygons in scene: 62464 (61 spheres * 1024 polys/spheres) Visual ID of window: 0x13c Context is Direct OpenGL Renderer: GeForce 940MX/PCIe/SSE2 62.371853 frames/sec - 69.606987 Mpixels/sec -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
