Hi, could you provide some compilation instructions (even better: packages!) for the less adept among us? Thanks a lot.

What system are you on? Usually it's mkdir build && cd build; cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr; make sudo make install I'm planning deep changes for the application (including primus and bumblebee support). admiral0

Thanks! I use Kubuntu right now, and it installed fine after I installed libpci-dev. How does Switchable Graphics work regarding power consumption? Can it/does it turn off the card that is not being used, or does it run both at all times? The biggest benefit for me would be to have a GUI for switcheroo. Or, does it require both cards to be activated, and what it does is just to set which is going to be active? One more question: Is left-click on the icon in the system tray supposed to do anything? Thanks a lot.

The unused card is kept off. You can switch card with right click and logout.

mrbit

yes, kde4 ... in the try system--> problem !!.

mrbitt

after installation (after login ) problems with your system tray??

Is there a KDED4 crash? Could you open an issue with the backtrace?

Hi, please add for ARCHLINUX https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=63696 Thanks.

I'll do a PKGBUILD, ebuild for gentoo and maybe a deb when i'll be sure it's rock stable.
