Package: nvidia-glx Version: 319.76 Dear Mainteners,
Since nvidia driver 320.x, Nvidia has implemented partially Optimus in their driver. Earch users which have a laptop with Optimus technology can enabled the Nvidia card to display the desktop rendered instead of the Intel card. For more explainations, you can read the readme here : http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/319.76/README/randr14.html So, i tried this solution in Debian Sid because there are the minimal requirements : - Kernel 3.11 (> 3.9) - Xrandr 1.4.1 - Xorg 1.14.3 - Nvidia drivers 319.76 I follow the explainations in the readme after to install a fresh Debian Sid : 1- Install modesetting driver (aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-modesetting) -> Xorg and Xrandr are installed too. 2- Install Nvidia driver (aptitude install libgl1-nvidia-glx libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386) 3- Create a "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" as explained. I replace the BUSID example by the good ID (BUSID "PCI:1:0:0" for me) and i uncomment the "UseDisplayDevice" line. 4- Install the rest (mate etc...) 5- Create a ~/.xinitrc with the xrandr command + exec mate-session 6- Reboot, log-in, startx and ... FAILURE !!! The problem is after the startx. It seems to work but i have a X server crash like this : > X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for > operation) > Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR) > Minor opcode of failed request: 35 () > Value in failed request: 0x2bf > Serial number of failed request: 16 > Current serial number in output stream: 17 > To try to know if it's a problem with my laptop, i installed Archlinux and i follow the same way like previously. Result, it works without problem. PS : Actually i'm on Arch because it works but i love Debian so... Thanks to help ;)
