New laptop, new 11.4 installation (dual boot with Windows 7) with switchable graphics: on the motherboard, IntelVGA compatible controller (2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller). This is what is in use with no problem since the installation. There is also nVidia GeForce GT 555M card. The hardware switch works in Windows, but has no effect in linux. I think my son (whose computer it is) will use the nVidia most of the time, but might like to know how to switch. In any case, I would appreciate any help in knowing how to use the nVidia in place of the motherboard graphics. Thanks! (If details of either or both or the system, are needed, please tell me what you need.)
The bumblebee project exists to try and bring Optimus support to Linux, but it's unsupported and still very new. https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee It claims to have an openSUSE install script.
