hello,
i'm using an ATI on ubuntu for a project.
It's mainly working (good screen configuration, shaders are ok, etc).
the only problems are :
- error on pd log at every frame.
- crash when destroying the gem windows...
so, ATI will certainly be a good option in the future.
For now, a solution to control optimus on linux look to work for some computer,
but it's still is very young.
Nvidia still provide driver for there card.
Having to install a kernel that is released after the hardware to use is not
really a surprised, imo.

I'm a little confused about the problem. I can live without Optimus technology
but if future Nvidia cards that support Optimus don't offer a decent driver
with 3D accel that's a different problem. What exactly is the situation? Are
the ATI Linux proprietary drivers still not a reasonable alternative?

Hello,
I bought a Asus N53SN recently, no way to activate/desactivate graphics cards
in the BIOS till now (BIOS 206), whereas it seems to be possible on thinkpad
laptops
first install of bumblebee from ppa didn't worked for me, I didn't took the
time yet to make it work, hope it will
I had to install a recent kernel (2.6.35) on ubuntu 10.04 to have at least full
resolution on the intel graphic card

I just bought a Asus N55SF with NVidia GT 555 with Optimus.
I hope i could activate the NVidia card and desactivate the Intel card
with BIOS. I pray.
I keep you informed.

Hello,
I would like to know if people on this list use a NVidia graphic card
with
Optimus on Linux and Gem and tell us if they encounter problems ? I
would
like to buy a new laptop but i read in different forum that NVidia
doesn't
plan to develop a driver on Linux using this technology. I also read
that
this technology with i5 Sandy Bridge and NVidia GT 540 might suffer of
throttling (that could be a big issue in a peformance using Pd and Gem).
I
am looking for a good laptop to use Gem with a weight< 2.2 kg.
Thanx.
