Hi again :-)
I am installing leap on my new Asus GL552VW-CN113T that has an intel graphics chip and a Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 M.

1. Yes, you have an Optimus system. Optimus systems have an Intel GPU + and NVIDIA one. 2. You have two options: - Bumblebee ( which allows you to run individual applications on the NVIDIA by adjusting their startup commands ) - suse-prime ( which allows you to run your entire X session on either the Intel, or the NVIDIA ).
The forums contain a couple of threads on suse-prime. Mind, on Tumbleweed the packages is called suse-prime-alt
Thanks for the clarifying (1) and the prime-hint (2). I was stumbling about prime, too, during my searches. It seems easier to me, because of the kernel-update-problems with bumblebee. I don't care too much, if I have to manually turn on/off the nvidia graphics card, as my graphics-intensive sessions are long, over several days, so no on/off every few minutes... Are there any performance differences (graphics card or system in general) between the two options? What would be your decision in my case? Anyone has experience with both ways? Also over kernel-updates? Also with virtualbox?
