[Bug 700646] Re: nVIDIA 425M (with Optimus) is not detected

 

I can confirm that the nvidia driver works with Bumblebee. Although the
nouveau driver supports NVC0, it will not work out-of-the-box with
Optimus cards. It may work with Bumblebee though.

The recommended method on installing Bumblebee is:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mj-casalogic/bumblebee
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install bumblebee
At the moment, the properietary driver is used, but this may change in the future. In fact, Bumblebee default to using nouveau in OpenSUSE.

Bumblebee's project files can be found at
