Hello list, I have a laptop with gt 630M 2GB graphics card. I installed the linux headers and the drivers using this command:
aptitude -r install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') nvidia-kernel-dkms [I referred this wiki : https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers ] I also created the Xorg.conf file as mentioned in the wiki. But when I rebooted my system Xorg failed to start. So i figured that I am having a GPU with optimus support and I do not need the Xorg.conf file but instead I need the bumblebee package. So I installed the bumblebee package. Everything seem to work now except this: Under system->Nvidia server settings when I open It i get a message: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. But there was already a post in bumblebee wiki which said: "Warning: If you choose to install bumblebee-nvidia and the dependent nvidia driver packages, during postinst, you will see a debconf prompt warning you that you need to create a xorg.conf file in order to use the proprietary nvidia driver. This prompt only applies to non-Optimus users, i.e. single Nvidia GPU systems. Do NOT allow debconf to create a xorg.conf file, and do NOT run nvidia-xconfig! (This prompt always appears when you install nvidia packages through the repositories, and it currently does not detect Optimus/bumblebee users. See 735049 for a brief explanation.) " So I am pretty sure that I do not need to run that nvidia-xconfig command. But I just want to make sure that I am running the nvidia driver successfully. How can I do that? -- Regards, Anubhav Yadav Imperial College of Engineering and Research, Pune. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
