I've installed Mint yesterday and so far I'm very pleased with the system. It's very fast and snappy, much faster than the blotted Windows 7/8.
I've already installed all the software I need; like Code::Blocks, Qt, Steam and so on and so forth.
That aside.
I've tried running a few simple games - worked like a charm. The games' FPS itself was comparable to the Windows versions.
Well... so far so good. However, I want to be able to turn on or off vertical synchronization. And for that I obviously the Nvidia's control panel (or is it doable via terminal?).
So... this is an Optimus-enabled laptop.
A GT 650M and an Intel HD Graphics 4000.
I'm currently optimizing battery life; it's ~1 hours 30 minutes out of the box.
~2 hours 30 minutes with Bumblebee. (I want to eventually match W7's battery life - ~3hours +- 10-30 minutes.)
I've tried using this tutorial.
But when I run in the terminal:
Code: Select all
nvidia-settings
Code: Select all
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
Code: Select all
nvidia-xconfig: command not found
Perhaps too much information to grasp at one go...
But since I'm free from university for two weeks, I want to be as productive as possible.
Thank you and my apologies if I'm asking something really dumb.
