Description Stefan Dirsch 2019-01-09 11:57:23 UTC

Related to boo#1103816
- make use of suse-prime on Optimus systems, i.e. make use of NVIDIA GPU for rendering on systems, which include such a GPU
  in addition to the Intel GPU

- integrate usage of suse-prime package in NVIDIA packages, i.e. run prime-select appropriately

- do this for sle15-sp1/Leap 15.1 and Tumbleweed; required Xserver patch is included since sle15-sp1:

Comment 1 Stefan Dirsch 2019-01-09 12:00:25 UTC

First I'll add an option to suse-prime/prime-select to show the current config, i.e. whether we have configured to use NVIDIA or not.
Then I'll submitrequest suse-prime as new package to sle15-sp1. Then I'll add the required bits to NVIDIA packages.

Comment 2 Stefan Dirsch 2019-01-09 15:27:54 UTC

suse-prime is now adjusted and submitrequested to factory/Tumbleweed and sle15-sp1/Leap 15.1.

Comment 5 Stefan Dirsch 2019-01-10 14:20:53 UTC

Just implemented the needed bits for NVIDIA packages (G04/G05). We don't/won't ship older package series for sle15-sp1/Leap 15.1 and TW.

- since sle15-sp1/Leap 15.1 and on TW:
  * enable usage of NVIDIA driver on Optimus systems (Intel/NVIDIA
    combo) by default, if not yet configured differently via
    prime-select (requires suse-prime package being installed
    before), i.e. make use of NVIDIA GPU for rendering on such
    systems (boo#1121246)

Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2019-01-10 15:17:24 UTC

Closing as fixed.

I've also released version 0.3 of SUSEPrime and updated our suse-prime package for Tumbleweed and sle15sp1/Leap 15.1.
