I have a huge concern. Does it work with nvidia drivers with optimus? i tried the normal installation and my SO was broken. Then people told me to use bumblebee and it works. but it was with the 3.19 version of nvidia driver.
I would really apreciate if you can really help me.
Thank you.
There is lot easier way to make it work via ppa.
1st make sure you downloaded the linux-source package for the current kernel version you have and then do the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers -y
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 –y (or nvidia-325)
