How about:

topper
topper bar
screen topper
screen hat
screen cap

So far I liked "top bar" the best, though.

Last word I saw is that nVidia will never support optimus or hybrid switching for linux. You can just use "The Bumblebee Project" though. It even works on my r1 for ubuntu 12.04.

if you haven't tried acpi_call to turn off the GPU, you should look into it. I was able to turn off the GPU in my m11xr1 and it runs cool enough after that that the fan doesn't need to come on. I'm...

It works. I have the R1, take a look at the screenshot. The su7300 is only in the R1's. I jumped into starcraft this morning with the same framerate I get while in windows.

I might be a slowpoke here, but I was able to get bumblebee working with the M11x R1 on Ubuntu 10.04.
I installed bumblebee and its dependencies from the ppa:

ppa:bumblebee/stable

and...

I have the same problem. Sound over HDMI does not work in Windows as well if that helps anybody.

My BIOS doesn't have the option to change that.

I've resigned myself to getting out of my chair when I want to switch OS's. =-D

I have an R1 and I don't feel like i'm missing out on anything the R2 has.

ah, good to know. The BIOS doesn't show so that answers that question.

Thank you!

I have my laptop set to default to boot to Ubuntu 10.04, but I also like to game on Windows 7. I have the laptop hooked up to a Sony Bravia 42" LCD by HDMI-HDMI. GRUB doesn't output to the TV...

I don't have 1, but i've read that that option is not there in the BIOS. I think you are going to have to wait until Nvidia releases optimus drivers for linux or they get it into the kernel or...

you only wish you wished you lived in alaska ;-)

Unless you live somewhere more north.

but serious, it's gettin' colder where I am.

yes, I've enjoyed all of the civ games I've played so far.

Same here.

i've been watching this for a while and OpenMW development has started to really pickup in the last month or so. I've been trying to come up with ways I can help, but I can't read or write C++...

don't worry. over the past two years, I have seen hundreds of threads with the same kind of issue. Someone should be able to figure it out.

Anyway, in order to get to the grub menu, after you...

I had similar trouble. For posterity, I used Super Grub Disk to boot into the existing Ubuntu I had. Then I uninstalled "grub"(grub 2) and installed "grub-legacy"(grub 1). Reinstalled the boot...

I got the sound working per the instructions above.

I've got something that I thought I would ask about, too. I've got the graphics set to discrete in the bios and I am using the Nvidia drivers from the ubuntu repos. Is there a way to switch outputs...

Yes, I'll +1 Alpha Centauri

Are you sure that you installed to the new partition? Did it finish successfully? If so then Ubuntu uses a different type of bootloader, GRUB, and so messing with easyBCD will not help you. When...
