Optimus is actually for switching between two different graphics chips on the fly (a lower-power/performance once when you're not doing heavy 3D, and a power-sucking performance daemon when it's time to play games). If the lower-power one is the Intel integrated graphics in a Sandy Bridge or similar chipset, then it's not surprising the nvidia driver doesn't work when you disable it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Optimus -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Engineering - http://blogs.oracle.com/alanc _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
