marja11 Perhaps this bug can be closed, but some clarity is needed for installing/configuring Mageia for Optimus systems. With no xorg.conf file the nVidia driver seemed to be functioning and a non-functional left edge binding worked. However, the above description indicates that something was not operating properly. . . and I recently discovered the Evolution refused to start because of the missing GLX extension. In addition, the last update of the EFL libraries resulted in an error message indicating that my graphics card did not support OpenGL. After running Drakx11 again to create an xorg.conf file with the Intel card as display 1 and nVidia as display 2, everything is now functioning (mcc and Evolution AND the left edge binding). The curious thing is that in selecting automatic for the second display driver, the xorg.conf file generated indicates that "nouveau" is the driver, when indeed it is the proprietary driver I have installed. Bumblee is installed, but I have no idea if it is working with this configuration. See this forum thread for a longer version of this tale: https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=11386&p=66375&hilit=nvidia#p66375 If I can help with documentation of this issue, let me know. However, I think I am missing something in understanding what is going on!

If this report should be closed as duplicate, then it can be changed into a "improve our documentation about Optimus and the like" request CC:

rverschelde As I recall this has been addressed in the documentation and/or is no longer a problem. Due to lack of support for my nVidia card and improvements in nouveau, I have dropped the nVidia proprietary driver. I am simply closing as resolved. Resolution:
