The first solution involves installing bumblebee and prefixing the vmware
or vmplayer
executable with optirun
. E.g.
Code Block |
---|
optirun -b primus vmware |
You can also modify (or make a copy) of the .desktop file with a modified prefix. See below (create a .desktop file and put in a folder on you path):
Code Block | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
