I just got the Asus ROG GL551JM, Intel I7, and Nvidia 860m with Optimus.
I installed LM 17.1 as a test to see if i would have problems with installing
LinuxLite. So far it has worked except for the locking up randomly until full performance
mode is enabled in The Nvidia profiler.
-Question, does Linux Lite have any definitive solution to get the Nvidia Optimus
working correctly?
-
I did have the idea of adding the System76 repos/Nvidia packages
and trying it out but would love to hear if anyone else has tried it. System76 apparently
has no issues at all running optimus, just wondering if the Asus hardware would be compatible
with System76 drivers.
Specs--
Asus ROG GL551JM, 17"
Intel Core i7 4710HQ (2.50GHz)
16GB Memory 1TB HDD
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M 2GB
1920 x 1080
Windows 8.1 64-Bit <------yeah right ! Linux Forever ! Thank you Steam for finally coming around and supporting Linux.
