It is still easy:
emerge bumblebee
rc-update add bumblebee default

That's all I did and it works.


I dont consider bumblebee as a support= from nvidia!

With Linux, I just add "optirun " in front of the command in the = program-menu
item.
On MS Windows, I need to:
1) Start the program
2) Stop the program
3) Configure the driver to use the NVidia chipset for the program (It doesn= 't
show in the list before I start it once)

It seems that I was wrong about the way optimus is working i= n Windows.
I never have tried to manually select a GPU for progra= m. I thought that the switching=C2=A0
is automatic in Windows, be= cause my games were smooth in Windows!
=C2=A0
If there is a powerful Intel GPU. But those don't come close to the = specs
NVidia and ATI put into the real GPUs.
=C2=A0
Your = right but I am not gonna need those specs for a laptop. Powerful cards are = meant for a PC, where the power consumption and
cooling are not t= hat important
