    [Plasma 5] Optimus and nvidia-346

    Some info that I didn't quite understand in the readme
    http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree8...E/optimus.html

    "support for the display output source functionality provided by the X Resize and Rotate extension version 1.4 is available. This functionality allows for graphics to be rendered on the NVIDIA GPU and displayed on the integrated graphics device."

    Does this mean that nouveau will access nvidia-346 if it's installed? After I install from driver manager, then switch back to nouveau, apt-get autoremove leaves nvidia-346. I've been reading over both manuals trying to figure out how this offloading functionality works. As I understand it, I can set dri_prime=1 before entries in my launcher, but what of kwin (which has visible tearing).
