Hello,
I am an experienced Ubuntu user, and just got a new Dell Precision Workstation M4800 with an nVIDIA K1100M Quadro card. I've sucessfully installed the nVIDIA drivers and I'm using that (exclusively).
I'd like to try and install the Optimus system and I need a step by step guide for Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS AMD 64.
I believe at this point that I'd need to (a) uninstall the nVIDIA drivers, (b) remove the xorg.conf file, (c) install the optimus system, (d) reboot and go into the BIOS and turn on the Optimus option.
Should I be using the Xorg Edgers PPA? Or should I just stick to the vanilla Ubuntu 14.04 nVIDIA repos?
A link to a guide would be helpful.
Thanks,
Andor
