Welcome to our wiki!

Many recent notebooks with a discrete NVIDIA card in it and an i3/i5/i7 processor use the NVIDIA Optimus technology to improve battery life. Unfortunately, this software solution is only available in Windows 7 and later.

The Bumblebee Project is a set of tools developed by people aiming to provide Optimus support under Linux (legacy NVIDIA hybrid graphics is supported too) while waiting for kernel and drivers to support these notebooks.
