Re: Permanent NVIDIA use?

 

Hi,

Due to the design of nVidia Optimus, it's not possible to use the nVidia
card directly. The discrete nVidia card is wired into the Intel integrated
GPU. The dual monitor setup might work by tunining the
/etc/bumblebee/xorg.nvidia.conf file, but I've not tried it yet.

Regards,
Lekensteyn
