This page (troubleshooting, FAQ sections especially) may be helpful. cheers |
nVidia does not support 'optimus' with linux, its windows 7 only. There is only 3 ways use the nvidia GPU on optimus systems running linux-
1- BIOS switch to force the nVidia GPU 2- BIOS switch to disable the intel intergrated video 3- Hacked software/driver/config files (mostly from custom EDID files) As far as I know, there is no way to get any of these options working with the XPS 15. |
