Hi all! I recently bought the Acer Aspire E1-571G notebook (i3, NVIDIA GeForce GT620M) for my daughter. Because she had OpenSuse on old Acer, she want to have the OpenSuse on it again, but i was not able to get Optimus to work and then i have some problems with Kaffeine & DVDs for example (something NVIDIA related is missing) or with backlight (seems to be kernel 3.7 related). Now i am considering to use the Debian on it (as on my all other PCs). I read the Debian Wiki (https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee), where are mentioned the official packages for this for Jessie and backports for Wheeze. Please, i want ask, if someone has experiences with this notebook, or with this combination of VGA (i915 & nvidia) or with Optimus technology at all - because i never meet it yet :-) And please, i had some problems with the Open Suse and the Fn+F3 kbd shortcut to enable the WiFi, which i solved by installing the broadcom-wl OpenSuse's contributed package with the wl kernel module. Are the packages broadcom-sta* for this purpose on Debian? Thanks -- Slavko http://slavino.sk
