[OpenIndiana-discuss] Installing Newer Driver from NVIDIA Site

Thu Nov 29 20:30:49 UTC 2018

Hi!

How can i determine if my system is "optimus"
My Card is a quadro m2000m, not a geforce ...

a) my ubuntu installation on this machine does not have the 
bumblebee-packages installed
b )The Xorg.0.log when using VESA is saying that it uses the nvidia card
.. so i hope this is _not_ an optimus thing.
