So ... how important is it for you guys to get the Optimus setup working on FreeBSD? I can set up a project on Github someday in the future and start working on my old scripts, refactoring them up to date, and finishing the project. Also, there would be a donation incentive, which means: you pay me monies -> I might work harder. However, if you guys feel like you can work out your own solution then I won't bother because I got plenty other projects right now that I am trying to figure out. Like, I got Optimus working on my laptop once before, but I decided it is not worth the effort in most cases since you can always buy a laptop which FreeBSD supports. And if you can't do that, then just install Gentoo and get on with it. Stefan Wendler kirjoitti 05.03.2016 17:33: > vesa will always work. But vesa is not accelerated.
