Well, maybe this is good news for you: - The nvidia packages for Optimus ( Intel + NVIDIA ) are not of the *kmp* type. They pull in the NVIDIA installer, unpack sources and have the driver compiled locally. Which works fine on TW that currently has kernel 4.5. I'd say the packages for Leap should simply build the kernel modules for any kernel they're supporting. - The touchpad is indeed supposed to work fine with kernel 4.5
So, in your case I would take following steps: 1. install Kernel 4.5 2. install the nvidia-bumblebee packages and suse-prime, as per instructions from the suse-prime package page If things don't work like expected, hit the forums. Use CODE tags to post any output requested.
I gave it a try. As this laptop is new (no personal data yet, no further programs installed) I did a fresh install to be sure there was no nvidia stuff. I updated to current with zypper up. Then I did the following: zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard \ Kernel:stable zypper in --from Kernel:stable kernel-desktop the repository was added, but the zypper in ended with "nothing to do" So I went to Yast, selected the 4.5 kernel, installed it and rebooted. It booted only to a black screen. I booted again with "idle=nomwait". It boots only to console mode, no graphical KDE... So, as already the first steps with kernel 4.5 cause problems, I guess there would be even more if I ever reached the point to install suse-prime. And as (for me) the only reason to have 4.5 is the touchpad, I think I'll better stay with the standard kernel and without touchpad... which (for me) only would be a nice-to-have, although a very-nice-to-have :-) ... Except that somebody convinces me here, I'll de-install kernel 4.5 tomorrow and just give it up on this... Thanks for your input and time!
