Does Ubuntu12.04 Nouveau driver implement Optimus laptop
Hi Gud day,

I would like to ask about if someone out here use an optimus technology laptop install the bumblebee package to enable to use the nvidia graphics card.

I just wondering on my optimus laptop which i install the latest ubuntu dist. which is 12.04 precise and update to kernel as of this date is 3.2.0-24.
Im using lucyd and bumblebee to access my paid graphics nvidia card. Before no bumblebee package install i can't use google-earth
or so called webgl on a browser. In my understanding the intel card can't handle high end application that required a high end card which is the purpose of the
nvidia. with bumblebee installed google-earth and webgl is a piece of cake. an any application that required extensive graphics. Now im confused since the default
installation of the precise 12.04 as of 2012-06-01, the google earth and webgl works fine, so does it mean the default install driver can used the nvidia or access the nvidia card.
Question:

1. I never found nvidia module/driver loaded when i run google-earth not like the bumblebee "optirun <apps>" so therefore what driver is the apps using?
2. Does the nouveau driver can access or used the nvidia card ( nouveau driver is opensource driver for nvidia right )
3. On the nouveau official website, its states that Optirun technology is not implemented yet. then maybe im wrong thinking nouveau driver is using the nvidia card?

Thanks And Best Regards.

sm

SM(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						     SM(4)

NAME

     sm -- SMC91Cxx-based Ethernet interfaces device driver

SYNOPSIS

     sm0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 10
     sm* at mhzc?
     sm* at pcmcia? function ?
     sm* at nubus?

DESCRIPTION

     The sm device driver supports SMC91C9x-based and SMC91C1xx-based Ethernet interfaces.

     The ISA attachment of the sm driver supports any SMC91C9x-based Ethernet interface on the ISA bus, including the EFA Info*Express SVC VLB
     interface, and the on-board SMC91C9x Ethernet found in many embedded PCs and laptop docking stations.

     The mhzc attachment of the sm driver supports the Megahertz combo Ethernet and modem card.

     The PCMCIA attachment of the sm driver supports Megahertz X-JACK Ethernet cards.

     The nubus attachment of the sm driver supports SMC-based Ethernet cards for the macintosh.

MEDIA SELECTION

     The SMC91C1xx supports the MII interface and so the list of supported media depends on several factors, including which PHY is attached.  The
     SMC91C9x supports AUI and UTP media types.

     To enable the AUI media, select the 10base5 or aui media type with ifconfig(8)'s media directive.	To select UTP, select the 10baseT or utp
     media type.

     ifconfig(8)'s -m option will display the full list of supported media directives for a particular configuration.

DIAGNOSTICS

     sm0: unable to read MAC address from CIS  This indicates that the Ethernet address, which is stored in the CIS information on the Megahertz
     X-JACK PCMCIA Ethernet card, is corrupted.

SEE ALSO
