The Bumblebee Project Wiki

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.

This wiki is under construction, you are most welcome to share your knowledge!
