Hello,
Until about 2 years ago, I was managing the bumblebeed package on my computers up to my Lenovo W530 with Nvidia Quadro 2000m and since Nvidia officially dropped support on it, I couldn’t get bumblebee/cuda to work on it. At that time my Lenovo T480 had newer GPU and I kept things running there but the whole laptop was recycled after having discovered to be lemon.
Long story short, now I own Lenovo P51 and get the Nvidia card to work properly but the documentations on both bumblebee and prime are osolete and I cannot get the optimusfeature to work in any capacity. Basically first of all, any signals routed to dGPU does not make it on the monitor, meaning pretty much all external video ports are useless.
Can someone please bring me up to date on if bumblebee has been totally thrown into the ditch and why SUSE-Prime seems to not work… at all and if there is a current documentation to get everything working on an Optimus laptop?
I am posting htis on 2022-07-17 for reference.
Thank you.
