optimus on medion notebook success

 

I'm pleased to advise that I have finally got this working on my notebook.

Proof:

Polygons in scene: 62464

realallen@allenb-P7812:~$ sudo optirun glxspheres

Clearly running on the nvidia GPU is about 18 times faster than using the
integrated Intel graphics.
