I have an Alienware M11xR2 which isn't seeing much use at the moment.

In the past, I simply disabled the nVidia graphics and used Intel.  I ran with Compiz Fusion and I had an environment I was happy with.

The new Gnome Shell thing has left me in an uncomfortable state.  I noticed that Compiz is still there but for the life of me, I can't imagine where/how it is used.  Frankly, I haven't had the drive to focus on it either.

With all that said, I would be happy to apply some purpose to what I might do with this machine by testing things out here.  Just tell me what I need to do and I'll give it a go.

On the other hand, I'm also considering using CentOS for the desktop as it still uses the older Gnome.  I'd be happy to help test things there as well.

As Samsagax told you on IRC, the new (unreleased) Bumblebee should work regardless
of the distribution, but if you want to use the nvidia driver instead of the nouveau one, more
work is needed to get it working. That is, installing the nvidia driver in such a way that it
does not conflict with the installed Mesa libraries.

I just installed Fedora 16, and wanted to get Optimus going on it (As well as power management?). Unfortunately, it seems that according to twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/Team_Bumblebee/status/152785625467191296) there isn't any recent package for it. It also appears that branch hasn't been updated in a while (https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/tree/fedora-dev).

Has anyone got it working on Fedora? I'd prefer not to switch distro's, but if that's what I need to do..
