Email this pagehttp://ubuntuforums.org – I have Intel/Nvidia optimus and use Bumblebee with fairly good success, thanks to the hard work of the BB devs. But I noticed that today's update to 12.10 offers to install new OpenGL (Mesa) drivers. Are these new drivers better able to deal with Optimus chipsets? Is it wise to skip installing them if one has Optimus? Thanks! (Hardware)

Email this pagehttps://bbs.archlinux.org – tried deleting xorg.conf and .Xauthority, still doesn't work.So was thinking about installing the open source video drivers, but that would require me to uninstall catalyst-utils, which has like a million dependent packages So i'm really not sure what else to do (or is there a way to install the opensource driver without having to delete 90% of my system?) flash84 https://bbs.ar (HowTos)

Email this pagehttp://stackoverflow.com – I'm looking to attach some USB devices to my embedded Linux board.

If I purchase an USB device which has Linux support/driver, can this driver (generally) be re-compiled to work with the ARM architecture? (Instead of Windows ect.). (HowTos)

Email this pagehttp://askubuntu.com – I see that my machine (Radeon HD 6290) has the option to choose either the X.Org X Server driver or the AMD proprietary driver: I want to know which one is the recommended one in term of performance in general? Do one of them have an edge over the other? And apart from performance, is there any stability issue with them in general? How often are they updated? (HowTos)
