[opensuse] SDB nVidia Bumblebee Article
Hi ! 1) Its seems there is a type in this article: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_Bumblebee Scrol down till section: "OPTIONAL: Install NVIDIA driver” -> “Leap releases" Below “Add the nvidia module to blacklist:" echo "blacklist nvidia" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf sudo mkinitrd IMHO it should be “echo "blacklist nouveau" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf”. Please correct if I’m wrong here. 2) Question about section "Additional steps for Leap 15.0”. create the symlinks inside them: cd /usr/X11R6/lib64/ ln -s /usr/lib64/libEGL_nvidia.so.0 libEGL_nvidia.so.0 ln -s /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1.0.0 libGL.so ln -s /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1.0.0 libGL.so.1 ln -s /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1.0.0 libGL.so.1.0.0 …… Is this still true for Leap 15.1 ?

You are wrong here. nvidia is loaded om demand, it should not be autoloaded.

Looks like I don't understand something. In this Knurpht Blogs (DKMS + NVIDIA on openSUSE) https://forums.opensuse.org/entry.php/152-DKMS-NVIDIA-on-openSUSE is written that one should blacklist nouveau driver. So, which version is correct ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I believe that entry is not for Bumblebee, but pure nvidia card (plus dkms). And as you can see, it has not been updated since 13.1, six years ago. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

So, which version is correct ?
Probably all of them. With bumblebee you don't want any driver to be automatically loaded at system booting. That's what blacklisting does. It doesn't prevent driver from being loaded later manually. Bumblebee loads the driver and starts a secondary Xorg server on demand. The wiki article might be a bit outdated. Last time I installed fresh Tumbleweed on my laptop, all I had to do was to install required packages. Everything else was configured automagically. I don't know what's the state on Leap releases.
