Most mid-range or higher laptops on the market (at least when I shopped for a laptop last year) seem to have Nvidia Optimus graphics. These don't run well on Fedora out-of-the-box - at least on my laptop the fan is constantly running because the Nvidia processor is constantly on. I don't want the Nvidia processor running - ever (so far). In the past I've used the acpi_call module, which is somewhat flakey and a hassle. Then I switched to Ubuntu for a bit, largely since Bumblebee (https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project) worked on Ubuntu. Now there is Bumblebee for Fedora, so I switched back to Fedora. However, it's still a hassle that Bumblebee is an external project and there is no Fedora package. A recently kernel update disabled Bumblebee because of some version incompatibility. I was able to re-enable it, but this is not something a typical user would be able to do - or even know about. Any chance Bumblebee could be packaged for Fedora? Or is there some other recommended solution? (I know I should offer to package it myself, but I have no relevant kernel - or packaging - experience.) -- --Per Bothner per@xxxxxxxxxxx http://per.bothner.com/ -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
