https://bbs.archlinux.org – graysky wrote:@OP - that sucks, but it is the sad situation that exists in this market.  In short, nvidia support for linux is lacking on the optimus platform.  This is why, in a talk held at Aalto University in Helsinki Finland, Linus Torvalds told nvidia to f*ck off while addressing a question from one of the audience members regarding issues she had with a laptop running NVIDIA Optimus graphics and the lack of support for Linux.  See youtube video.graysky not you too! Please don't send people to 17s out of 1h worth Q&A session. Linus didn't say f-word just becau (HowTos)

Linus torvalds shows the finger to nvidia about the nvidia optimus not being enabled for linux and their stuborn attitude for not supporting optimus for nvidia. It might sound as if Linus went bit overboard but everyone felt the same when we bought the hybrid hardware and now he makes nvidia understand what it ultimately made the customers feel when they tried linux with their hybrid chips.

Nvidi

Linus had a talk at Aalto University recently, and the talk is making the rounds on the Interwebs. Linus talked about the beginning of Linux, and his motivation behind coding it in the first place.

first at all check lspci | grep -i vgaI have optimus and I see both cards, Intel and nVidia.What do you see?If you install xf86-video-intel instead of nvidia driver, does it work then?

[ubuntu] "Ominous Optimus"! 37 weeks 3 days ago

Hello all, I'm running 12.04 Precise 64bit and have the dreaded dual video situation that for whatever reason Dell used in the XPS 15z. (I know, in Windoze it supposedly exists for better power management.) Has anyone been successful at getting Optimus to work short of using Bumblebee?

This tutorial is going to show you how to turn on/off the discrete nVidia graphics card on nVidia Optimus Ubuntu laptop. For now, nVidia Optimus doesn’t support Linux system.

I hope I am on the right thread as what I ask is more a subjective advice than a question. Sorry in advance if it's not the place...Hello,I am planning to buy a new laptop (essentially Linux usage) and see some interesting ultrabook. For example, I'm interested by the Asus S56CM. However I see it uses the Nvidia technology Optimus.

A seguire la vittoria del Millennium Technlogy Prize e l’intervista che la BBC ha pubblicato, Linus Torvalds è intervenuto all’Aalto Center for Entrepreneurship in Finlandia per una sessione di domande e risposte con alcuni studenti, inerenti in larga parte Linux e il panorama open source.

The relation between Nvidia and Linux worsens each day, as Linus Torvalds spills hatred for Nvidia publicly. He even went to the extent of uttering the f-word for Nvidia (with a finger gesture), in a public presentation.

Linus Torvalds was invited to speak at Aalto University in Helsinki, Finland, and has an interesting position regarding the increasing complexity of the Linux kernel.

The Linux kernel has gotten bigger over the years and some parts of it are now so complicated that only a handful of people understand it.
