home:Overman79:Laptop Laptop Utilities for laptops ================================================== Bumblebee and primus: To enable support for Nvidia Optimus, install those packages: # sudo zypper in bumblebee primus dkms-nvidia x11-video-nvidia After that, ensure to enable bumblebee group was created and you are a member of it. To ensure the nvidia module is always rebuild upon kernel upgrades,enable dkms service with the command: # sudo systemctl enable dkms Also enable the bumblebeed service: # sudo systemctl enable bumblebeed ================================================== DKMS-RTS_BPP: Support for Realtek Card Reader RTL8411 Device 5289. Just need to install the package. To ensure the module is always rebuild upon kernel upgrades,enable dkms service with the command: # sudo systemctl enable dkms This package is NOT needed for kernels 3.8+. ================================================== ZRAMSWAP It creates a swap device in RAM and compresses it. It is much quicker than swapping to a hard drive, so if a system often falls back to swap, this could improve responsiveness. To use it, simple install the package and enable the service with the command: # sudo systemctl enable zramswap ================================================== PROFILE-SYNC_DAEMON For more information: https://github.com/graysky2/profile-sync-daemon To use it, install the package and edit /etc/psd.conf defining which user(s) will have their profiles managed by psd. Also enable the service the command: # sudo systemctl enable psd http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Overman79:/Laptop/openSUSE_13.1/ x11-video-nvidia Installer for the proprietary graphics driver for GeForce 6xxx and newer GPUs This package will download and install the proprietary NVIDIA Accelerated Linux Graphics Driver that brings accelerated 2D functionality and high-performance OpenGL support to Linux x86 with the use of NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs). These drivers provide optimized hardware acceleration for OpenGL and X applications and support nearly all recent NVIDIA GPU products (see README.txt, Appendix A for a complete list of supported GPUs). TwinView, TV-Out and flat panel displays are also supported. dkms Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework This package contains the framework for the Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) method for installing module RPMS as originally developed by Dell. dkms-nvidia Installer for the graphics driver kernel module for GeForce 6xxx and newer GPUs This package will download and install the proprietary NVIDIA Accelerated Linux Graphics Driver that brings accelerated 2D functionality and high-performance OpenGL support to Linux x86 with the use of NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs). These drivers provide optimized hardware acceleration for OpenGL and X applications and support nearly all recent NVIDIA GPU products (see README.txt, Appendix A for a complete list of supported GPUs). TwinView, TV-Out and flat panel displays are also supported. dkms-bbswitch "Kernel module allowing to switch dedicated graphics on Optimus laptops" This package contains linux kernel module for switching Nvidia-Optimus wrapped for the DKMS framework. bumblebee NVidia Optimus support for GNU/Linux aimed at stability Bumblebee daemon is a rewrite of the original Bumblebee service, providing an elegant and stable means of managing Optimus hybrid graphics chipsets. A primary goal of this project is to not only enable use of the discrete GPU for rendering, but also to enable smart power management of the dGPU when it's not in use. primus Faster OpenGL offloading for Bumblebee Primus is a shared library that provides OpenGL and GLX APIs and implements low-overhead local-only client-side OpenGL offloading via GLX forking, similar to VirtualGL. It intercepts GLX calls and redirects GL rendering to a secondary X display, presumably driven by a faster GPU. On swapping buffers, rendered contents are read back using a PBO and copied onto the drawable it was supposed to be rendered on in the first place. home:Overman79:Laptop Laptop Utilities for laptops ================================================== Bumblebee and primus: To enable support for Nvidia Optimus, install those packages: # sudo zypper in bumblebee primus dkms-nvidia x11-video-nvidia After that, ensure to enable bumblebee group was created and you are a member of it.
