Hello,
I would like to know if people on this list use a NVidia graphic card with Optimus on Linux and Gem and tell us if they encounter problems ? I would like to buy a new laptop but i read in different forum that NVidia doesn't plan to develop a driver on Linux using this technology. I also read that this technology with i5 Sandy Bridge and NVidia GT 540 might suffer of throttling (that could be a big issue in a peformance using Pd and Gem). I am looking for a good laptop to use Gem with a weight < 2.2 kg. Thanx. ++

hello,
i would be also very interested in this discussion. i still use my Dell Precision M70 with a Quadro FX Go1400 which has been an excellent machine and still is.
but new OGL options like geometry shaders etc. are tempting to explore but not possible with this card.

hello,
having to buy a good linux computer with good GPU nowday is not so easy, manly because of optimus. but it look like are going good. http://www.martin-juhl.dk/2011/05/optimus-on-linux-problem-solved/

I just bought a Asus N55SF with NVidia GT 555 with Optimus. I hope i could activate the NVidia card and desactivate the Intel card with BIOS. I pray. I keep you informed. ++

Hello,
I bought a Asus N53SN recently, no way to activate/desactivate graphics cards in the BIOS till now (BIOS 206), whereas it seems to be possible on thinkpad laptops first install of bumblebee from ppa didn't worked for me, I didn't took the time yet to make it work, hope it will I had to install a recent kernel (2.6.35) on ubuntu 10.04 to have at least full resolution on the intel graphic card

I'm a little confused about the problem. I can live without Optimus technology but if future Nvidia cards that support Optimus don't offer a decent driver with 3D accel that's a different problem. What exactly is the situation? Are the ATI Linux proprietary drivers still not a reasonable alternative?

hello,
i'm using an ATI on ubuntu for a project.
It's mainly working (good screen configuration, shaders are ok, etc). the only problems are : - error on pd log at every frame. - crash when destroying the gem windows...
so, ATI will certainly be a good option in the future.
For now, a solution to control optimus on linux look to work for some computer, but it's still is very young. Nvidia still provide driver for there card.
Having to install a kernel that is released after the hardware to use is not really a surprised, imo.

hello,
related to this topic: I am also looking into buying a laptop for a project I am doing. I made a port of (a revised) [pix_drum] to openframeworks, then use OSC to send info to Pd. Pd will generate sound based on the info it receives.
I am wondering: is there a big difference for this and similar tasks between i5 and i7 processors? It's a big price difference, and if results for graphics and sound tasks are the same I will prefer i5...
Also, how are things going with using Nvidia graphics? Using 3D will not be necessary at this moment in this project, but I may wish to do so in the future. Since I look into buying something like Asus X53SV, it is relevant.
Bye, menno

Hi Menno,
The work that pix_drum does is done in the cpu. I would imagine openframeworks will work similarly.
I have used not so fast intel c2duo processors (2.2Ghz) with a not so big cache (3MB) and it has worked fine at 320x240 and 75fps. bigger resolutions or higher frame rates will require faster processors...
best,
J
