NVidia does not support Optimus with its Linux drivers. If your laptop is using Optimus, then there are several solutions. If your BIOS allows it, disable the Intel graphics and only rely on the NVidia GPU. This will probably drastically shorten your battery life. Go visit the NVidia Linux forums at www.nvnews.net/vbulletin. Someone has put together a software solution that appears to work. Do a search on Optimus in the NVIDIA Linux forum. I don't remember if anyone has tried this with Gnome 3 or Fedora 15. Again, this is Linux NVidia driver versus hardware issue, and not really a Linux (or Fedora) issue. . . . . just my two cents. /mde/ -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
