nVidia Optimus and Ubuntu 10.10 - Someone get working?

[Wagner Sales]

Hi all,

Some months ago I've sent a mail asking about nvidia optimus working
on ubuntu. And now, I've finally got this working!
Simply follow ( carefully ) the howto:

And have fun!

I'm rendering volumes on GPU card by using VTK!
