Just installed this driver. I used the 'sh' way. I bought a recent generation card (gtx 750) so I already had older Nvidia (legacy) drivers installed so the process was complicated (imho). I had to decide whether to take the latest driver version from the repo - use a driver from a later distro version (for e.g. Debian stable vs sid or Ubuntu 14.04 vs ?). I had the silly idea of upgrading my kernel so I did that first. It seems that there is some uncertainty of whether certain video drivers play nice with particular kernel versions?
Anyway, is there anything to test? I find that I have flickering when I use Google - Apps - (the icon or square). The right-hand side of the drop-down box flickers when you first click it.

Guest repliedOriginally posted by deanjo View PostActually Nvidia hosts RPMs for openSUSE and SuSE enterprise. So you are using the wrong distro :P. The packages are still however maintained by SUSE.

Guest repliedOriginally posted by blackout23 View PostThey do just that. The X.Org and kernel version they support is often way more up to date than what the distros you named have in their repos. There is no special magic sauce needed to support Linux 3.13 and X11 1.15 on different distros. They're all the same.

Originally posted by Pawlerson View PostThey support Windows 7, 8 etc. They don't have to support hundred and one Linux distributions. I would officially support Rhel, Ubuntu and SteamOS.

if it is, i found out that when using .deb messes up (its all ugly) if i install it with the .sh manualy, it dosent mess up...
maybe they are packaging it wrong? i would really like this to be fixed since it looks awefull.

Guest repliedOriginally posted by spykes View PostWhat is the state of their Optimus support by now ?
Do we still have to rely on hacks like Primus or Bumblebee ?
I whish Valves puts some pressure on them to better support those configurations as well.
Primus is probably still better solution, I wouldn't get my hopes too high for 'windows like' optimus support anytime soon (this year or even next year).
