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 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
