Does anyone know if nVidia's Optimus technology is supported natively
in
F22?  Or do we still need to go with Bumblebee?  And what's the status
of Bumblebee for F22?

I booted the Live DVD and it loaded the nouveau driver on my Latitude,
but I couldn't tell if it was using the Intel chip or not.  (There
doesn't seem to be an X.log.0 on the live system.) How can I check?

TIA.

Optimus is not supported on "Linux." Bumblebee should work fine on
Fedora 22. By default system uses Intel graphic card but both cards
are in ON state causing battery drain.

PS:- Repos are up but wiki needs to be updated though.

Thanks.

While searching, I ran across this:
http://negativo17.org/nvidia-driver/.  Wondering if anyone has
experience with these packages?  He claims to have Optimus support
working without Bumblebee.

I use these packages with a desktop card, the DKMS driver works very well.

I will have to give it a try on F21 laptop that has Optimus.
