Intel/nVidia troubles for Razer Blade 14

Hi, I've been trying to setup the switchable graphics for the Razer Blade 14 (nVidia 765M) but no luck. I've been reading several posts but still no dice.
I'm using nvidia, bbswitch, linux-ck and bumblebee.
nvidia-config was saved at /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf and changed
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidiagpu1"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
bumblebee.conf I set Driver=nvidia and Bridge=virtualgl and I set BusID to 01:00:00. It shows (rev ff) before optirun and rev (a1) after running optirun.

Don't mean to bump but perhaps I'm on the wrong subforum? Should I copy this on newbie corner?

  • Is it possible to use the Intel graphics for the display and use the NVIDIA GPU for rendering at the same time?

    I have been trying to figure this one out for a couple of days. I found the CUDA mac drivers on NVIDIA's website and installed them. I have been working in Blender. After the driver install I can now switch between CPU and GPU processing, Great. It works, but I am not experiencing decreased render times like I had read about or expected. It's about the same. While using the GPU for rendering, my OS is choppy, leading me to wonder if there is a way to use the NVIDIA just for computing power?
    Any help would be grand.
    Thanks

    No.

  • Trouble installing latest Intel Display Driver for Windows 7

    Anyone else experiencing issues trying to install the latest Intel Display Driver for Windows 7, version 8.15.10.2057, dated 2 Mar 2010?
    This is the second updated driver release that refuses to install due the following error while running setup.exe: This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.
    I've verified compatibility and have disabled Switchable graphics and selected Integrated Graphics in the BIOS
    System: T400, 2764-CTO running Windows 7 (64-bit)
    Thanks...
    T400 2764CTO
    Windows 7 x64

    bwpotter,
    Appears you selected the right .inf file for Win7/64. Notwithstanding the error flags, are you sure the driver did not install?
    For WinXP/32, the equivalent file name is kit22686.inf. In the case of WinXP (likely similar for Vista and Win7), Lenovo's file-set will unpack to C:\drivers\WIN\DISPLAY2. The .inf file that appears in the Device Manager install-routine lives one level down, in C:\drivers\WIN\DISPLAY2\Graphics. Only one .inf file resides in this directory.
    When forcing installation of the driver under WinXP, error messages appear that are similar (but not necessarily identical) to those you encountered. Still, after a sequence of five or six such error messages, the driver does load and can be verified after a reboot. (The new driver has performed to spec for the past several days--no issues whatsoever.)
    The final splash screen in the series reports "Completing the Hardware Update Wizard." (This message does not, however, necessarily denote a successful installation.)
    In the case of WinXP, the errors appear to be generated by the installer, igxpun.exe (v1.2.30.0). Note that the flaky display driver installation should generate an error log. Search for an error log file using the string "*appcompat.txt" (no quotes) and see what it says.
    In the end, the problems with this package can be attributed to simple sloppiness (vendors commonly forget to eat their dog food) and should be quickly fixed if the community barks loudly.
    Hope this helps.

  • Qosmio X870-116: usage of Intel / nVidia GPU on internal / external display

    Hello,
    I have a Qosmio X870-116 which have 2 video cards, a Intel on board and a Nvidia more powerfull.
    My probleme, I don't how I switch my display on the Intel card and I see my Nvidia only for the external display.
    Some one have an idea to switch on the nvidia card to my first display?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Something like that isnt possible.
    You cannot use two graphic cards simultaneously for internal and external display.
    First of all you can switch between external and internal display using the function key Fn + F4 (or just F4)
    Secondly the nVidia Optimus technology optimize notebook performance by seamlessly switching between a nVidia GPU and Intel internal graphic card.
    The switching is automatic and does not require any notebooks reboot.

  • Latest Nvidia Driver for G560 does not install!

    Hi,
    i've tried to install the latest nvidia driver for my G560. But it seems like the only driver working on this system is the preinstalled driver from Lenovo.
    I always get the message that the driver can't find the required hardware. I've downloaded the correct (Win 7 64 Bit) and latest driver from Nvidias webpage. I've even tried some older drivers from the drivers archive.
    Does anybody have a clue how I can solve my problem?
    Greetings Cpk83
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It does look like the correct driver. But I noticed this "Note: The following notebooks are not supported in this release: 1. Notebooks supporting Hybrid Power with Intel chipsets. 2. Fujitsu notebooks – support will be added in a later release. Fujitsu Siemens (FSC) notebooks are supported in this release. 3. Sony VAIO notebooks – support will be added in a later release. Sony VAIO Windows 7 users can click here for driver update support. 4. Any notebook that is launched after the release date of this driver. " Does anyone know if this laptop has Hybrid Power? Also here is a good tip/recommended from ATI. "Advisory: The display driver supplied by the laptop manufacturer is customized for the built-in flat panel display, and the graphics features and functions specific to the laptop. It is strongly recommended to use the supplied drivers. If installing a different operating system other than the one included with the laptop, the laptop may not meet all the requirements, and supported drivers may not be available. The laptop manufacturer is the exclusive provider of driver updates. If the required driver update is not available at the laptop manufacturers’ website, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer directly, to see if an updated driver will be made available in the future."

  • How to get OpenGL 4 on an intel/nvidia laptop

    Hi,
    I have the following setup:
    A lenovo T430 with intel/nvidia graphics.
    I managed to get the nvidia driver and bumblebee installed. So far I am able to run games such as L4D on my machine.
    However, Metro 2033, requires OpenGL4. Right now I have the mesa-10.3.5 implementation of OpenGL, which provides OpenGL 3.0.
    Can anybody give me some hints.

    NVIDIA's proprietary graphic card driver doesn't depends on mesa anyhow, Mesa is used with Intel driver on your laptop.
    You have Nvidia NVS 5000M Series videocard (NV5x).
    From NVIDIA Wiki article
    For GeForce 8000/9000 and 100-300 series cards [NV5x, NV8x, NV9x and NVAx] from around 2006-2010, install the nvidia-340xx or nvidia-340xx-lts package, available in the official repositories.
    If you are on 64-bit and also need 32-bit OpenGL support, you must also install the equivalent lib32 package from the multilib repository (e.g. lib32-nvidia-libgl, lib32-nvidia-340xx-libgl or lib32-nvidia-304xx-libgl).
    Reboot. The nvidia package contains a file which blacklists the nouveau module, so rebooting is necessary.
    Be sure noveau deleted from /etc/mkinitcpio.conf if you had it, I suggest you don't need it for now.

  • Compiling nvidia driver for custom kernel

    I have a Toshiba M200 tablet PC running Arch Linux (which I love, btw) and it's running fine, including the tablet.
    There's an irritating bug with suspend-to-ram (suspend-to-disk doesn't work with the nvidia driver) where the tablet pen stops working after resume.
    There's a patch slated to be in some future kernel, but I compiled my own with that patch included. It boots fine and all seems to be well with it.
    However, I need to compile the nvidia driver for it, since the binary does not work. So I copy /var/abs/extra/nvidia and modify the PKGBUILD and nvidia.install files per the instructions on this wiki page, and run makepkg -i -c .
    I get a big error message early on, saying
    If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
    you either have configured kernel sources matching your
    kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
    on your system.
    If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
    you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
    installed on your system. If you specified a separate
    output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
    the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
    directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
    the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
    Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
    kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
    their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
    the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
    *** Unable to determine the target kernel version. ***
    I've checked everything I can think of.
    $ uname -r
    2.6.25-tablet
    ls -l /usr/src shows linux-2.6.25-tablet, and linux is a symlink to it. /lib/modules/2.6.25-tablet/build is also symlinked to the right kernel source tree.
    So I'm out of ideas for why the nvidia makefile can't seem to find the kernel source.
    Thanks in advance.

    @klixon:
    I think that may be the root of the trouble: I compiled the kernel on my desktop (C2D 2.8) rather than my wussy laptop (1.6 Centrino). It installed and ran fine and all that, but I only have the kernel source tree that was included in the package, not the one that really compiled the code. Would simply copying it suffice, or should I rebuild the kernel on my laptop? Also, the PKGBUILD is included below.
    @shazeal:
    I believe this is a subset of the problem I describe above?
    The PKGBUILD, somewhat customized from the nvidia ABS. I don't think any of the changes are overly shocking.
    I've tried dozens of different modifications of it now. The simplest one is just appending '-tablet' to pkgname and _kernver.

  • How to grey out Intel Graphic Media for local users?

    does anyone know how to grey out the options to stop local users changing graphics options from Intel media graphics for Mobile?
    As well if anyone know what is different in BIOS updates, any option to cancel booting devices (not only change order)

    Hi
    Sorry but something like this is not known to me. You can disable a lot of different functions but display properties and settings are always available.
    BTW: I do not see some problem there is someone change resolution or whatever if the resolution is high and symbols to small.
    As far as I know it is not possible to cancel booting devices.

  • Can a current Verison customer get into trouble for claiming false information regarding lost or stolen phones and their account, just to have them suspended?

    I know of a family member that has filed (called) a false claim of 5 phones on their account being lost or stolen just to have them suspended, is there anything that can be reported or someone that can be notified to report this issue and/or can they get into trouble for filing or claiming false information?

    Why claim lost or stolen?  Why not just suspend the lines?  In any case, the lines can be suspended, with or without payment, even without reporting them lost or stolen.  The only point to reporting them that way is to prevent them from being used on another account.
    If they were to try and replace them via insurance, there would be a deductible to pay.  They may need to show proof if reported as stolen (police report).
    I guess I'm puzzled as to the motive behind reporting them to be lost or stolen rather than a simple suspension.

  • NVidia Drivers for F10-100

    Can anyone tell me if its possible to update the nvidia drivers for the above model beyond that which is currently listed in the toshiba updates section. Those drivers are quite old now, and I tried downloading the MCE specific drivers from nvidia, but just got a stop notice saying the product was not supported.
    Can they be updated at all?
    I even tried the XP Pro drivers to no avail.

    But if you decide to install one of these drivers, you'll have to do it at your own risks. I have personnaly installed version 77.72 on my Qosmio G20-107 and it's working great ! Here are the benchs i have before/after installing them:

  • I have an iMac5,1 with an intel processor.  For the last month or so, whenever I play a video from an outside source - e.g. YouTube, the picture jumps and breaks-up.  All of my software is up-to-date.  Any thoughts on how to fix this problem?

    You're welcome. As to checking speed go to http://speedtest.net/ and it will choose the closest server for you. BTW, whatever you do, don't click on the robot icon that says "Start Scan" or MacKeeper below that. Only use the speed test in the middle that has the button BEGIN TEST on it. It will run a download speed test first and then an upload speed test. The download test will give a much faster response.

  • Need to compile nvidia driver for a custom kernel [SOLVED]

    I compiled a custom kernel following this wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ker … rom_Source
    I can boot into it just fine.  I now want to compile an nvidia driver for use with it and followed the steps on this wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVI … tom_kernel
    I run into a problem when makepkg trys to compile it.  Here is the output:

    If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
    you either have configured kernel sources matching your
    kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
    on your system.
    If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
    you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
    installed on your system. If you specified a separate
    output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
    the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
    directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
    the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
    Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
    kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
    their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
    the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

    Hello,
    I'm kind of a noob and am trying to get follow the directions from the Nvidia wiki on installing on a custom kernel.  I'm trying to use the abs method to install on kernel26rt version 2.6.33rt.  I followed directions exactly and am getting an error that I didn't find on any other posts.  Can you please take a look?  Here is my terminal:

  • ICloud synced the wrong file for Infinity Blade II saved game, lost a lot of progress.

    iCloud did not correctly sync a file between my iPhone 4s and my iPad.  The save file for Infinity Blade II was last updated on the iPhone. When I tried to load the game on iPad, it reverted to an earlier version. How do I restore the right file?

    Aside from the sync services such as contacts, mail, etc, the only way other data in the form of files are saved to iCloud are 1) a backup of app data to iCloud (this assumes backups are turned on as well as the app, see Settings>iCloud>storage and backups), and 2) individual apps that save their own data files, not as backups per se, but for syncing purposes.
    I'm assuming you have been discussing (2). you haven't mentioned doing a restore, and I wouldn't recommend that at this point. Version control if it were used would have to be the responsibility of the app.  iCloud does not implement that on its own and I'm sure Apple wouldn't want to provide that feature as users would quickly run out of iCloud storage.

Maybe you are looking for
