Your idea is incorrect. Nvidia drivers work amazingly well, but their line of "Optimus" is not supported on *linux*. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have an optimus laptop and with bumblebee version 3 it is functioning perfectly. The intel graphics card is functioning great for normal things like compositing and when I need the extra umph then I have the nvidia card. True it isnt transparent to run things under the nvidia but I don't mind that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

My experience with Toshiba is that they make high quality laptops that work well with Winxxxs, but work poorly with linux. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Not a direct recommendation, but we bought four Toshiba Satellite L675 last year - no problems with openSUSE whatsoever. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
