Hi,
I'm researching for a new laptop. I think the main issue is video. Is there a manufacturer I should avoid (NVidia/AMD) ? ...
The "double-gpu's" with nvidia ("optimus") do *not* work on opensuse. It is as disaster. Buy the cheapest box you find, opensuse doesn't deserve better. Or stay with a mobile phone.
If you think I am angry about that, you guessed absolutely right.

Sorry, but the generalization here is nonsense. I did install ( recently, on a couple of recent laptops with dual grahics ) and albeit needing some tinkering, it works fine. Unless my customers do not report non-functional laptops, which I doubt.
Ok, my rant was hard, I know. But having my laptop with non-working nvidia is nonsense, too. Expensive nonsense. The change - what ever it was - that made switching from intel to nvidia impossible, causes me great problems every single day. It's an important problem for me and I lost nerves because right now I had to work some hours with this half-baked intel solution. Things that would have gone much faster if optimus worked.
I was searching for help on this list. I have filed a bug report with all details I could imagine to be helpful. ( https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1088287 ) I was searching google for many hours, trying what ever I could find.
No, nvidia does not run on my laptop.
If you (and Peter) say it works on your laptops I would be *extremely* interested on how to achieve this, too.
And yes, I know one should not empty it's "overcooking pan" on this list. I always try to avoid it. But as this affects me so much, I just couldn't. Sorry.
not an excuse. you failed to do your due diligence when selecting the laptop for your chosen operating environment. so your frustration with opensuse is really self inflicted.
Wrong. His machine works perfectly with leap 42.3. It broke with 15.0
yes, *he* broke it by installing 15.0 which he can solve by returning to 42.3. he does have a solution but chooses to rant here instead. he just said so. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
