[opensuse] macbook multi monitor
Hello, I have a Macbook with an intel and nvidia graphics card. I used the nouveau driver and nvidia card for some time. But my laptop got really hot. So recently I blacklisted the noveau driver. And only use intel card. But then I realized: multiple monitor doesn't work with it! So now I consider switching back to nvidia, is the proprietary driver better? Also I read this: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_Bumblebee but it seems that won't help me cooling down my laptop, since I will use multiple monitors all the time I guess all the time it will also use the nvidia card, is this correct? I understand bumblebee like this: If I need not much good graphics, it switched to lower card (intel), if I need good graphic, it enabled the high card (nvidia). But when I will need multi monitor, it will use nvidia all the time, right? Is it even right that the intel card doesn't support multiple displays? regards, Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

In my experience nVidia binary driver provides better power management than nouveau, so it makes sense to try. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
