T420 running 285.62 nvidia drivers - optimus included?

Hi all. I have a T420 and wiped it clean for my own Win 7 64-bit installation. While running the driver updates from Lenovo's driver site, I noticed separate drivers for the nvidia card - looks like the "regular" drivers and the optimus separately. I didn't install from there. Instead I went to nvidia's site, like I always do, and installed the latest driver for the NVS 4200M. As a side note, my system also has an integrated Intel card. All seems to be good so far, but haven't tried any 3d apps.
I assume the new driver has Optimus included in it? I have an icon that shows Nvidia GPU activity, which is really cool. Lets me determine what 3d programs use the Nvidia GPU. 
Am I all set or do I need to make any BIOS changes? I just don't want my Intel card to start working in the middle of a 3d app, yet I don't need the nvidia card working while in 2d.
Edit: Just noticed these drivers - 290.53 - should i be using them instead? http://www.geforce.com/Drivers/Results/40617
Edit2: Installed the 290.53 beta drivers - no probs so far. 
Thanks.

I think http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS014142 is still the latest supported Lenovo driver package.

  • T420s Nvidia Drivers

    Howdy,
    I am looking for an older version of Nvidia drivers, specifically: 8.17.12.7658.  The new version (9620) doesn't allow me to select the Nvidia card for certain applications like VLC, WMP, or Media Player Classic.  That being said, I know the Nvidia card automatically runs everything connected to an external monitor however when not using an external monitor, I was able to set my defaults allowing me to multitask without the Intel card being the sole provider.  The old version allowed you to set each specific application, that is why I need to downgrade.  I've searched on Lenovo Support for old drivers but to no avail.  Any help would be appreciated.  Also in the past, Nvidia drivers were more up to date then Lenovo's however when Nvidia added this feature (not being able to select specific programs, or shading the option to), I jumped back to Lenovo's 7658.  My fault for updating to the latest Lenovo driver.

    to add a bit more... if you substitute txt for the exe ( http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/83de44ww.txt ) in your url, you can seemingly get the readme file to go along with the driver pack.
    cheers.

  • Z360 - How to install NVIDIA drivers and enable Optimus on Ubuntu 13.04

    Hello,
    I moved to use Ubuntu on my Z360 laptop. I installed Ubuntu 13.04.
    But I have a problem with NVIDIA drivers. I tried to download it from NVIDIA website and install it but it brings a lot of problems.
    The resolution of desktop switched to very low and OpenGL cannot start - all dialogs hasn't title panel, desktop without panels.
    Please, can somebody explain how can I install NVIDIA drivers and enable Optimus on my Z360?

    I am not sure if Nvidia supports 13.04 because it is still in the Beta stage?
    Cheers and regards,

  • [Solved] xorg "no screens found" on laptop with nvidia + intel Optimus

    Startx gives fatal server error:(EE) no screens found
    After installing arch on my laptop, I followed the xorg arch wiki to install the Xwindow system.
    I installed  xorg-server, startx
    lspci -k | grep -A -2 -i "VGA" shows two graphic cards (see below). I guess the I am using the NVIDIA.
    I installed nvidia-utils-337.12-1 , nvidia-337.12-1, nvidia-libgl-337.12-1
    After that I ran nvidia-xconfig
    startx gives the above error.
    What can I try next?

    Hi Karol,
    Thank you for the suggestion. I read the wiki Nvidia#No_screens_found_on_a_laptop.2FNVIDIA_Optimus .
    It says "On a laptop, if the NVIDIA driver cannot find any screens, you may have an NVIDIA Optimus setup : an Intel chipset connected to the screen and the video outputs, and a NVIDIA". This seems to be the case for my latop.
    The wiki suggests three options to get around the problem:
    1) NVIDIA drivers now offer Optimus support since 319.12 Beta [[3]] with kernels above and including 3.9.
    2) Another solution is to install the Intel driver to handle the screens
    3) Enter the BIOS and changed the default graphics setting from 'Optimus' to 'Discrete' and the install NVIDIA drivers
    I tried them all:
    1) I had NVIDIA driver version 337 installed, but I don't know how to turn on Optimus support
    3) I check my bios settings, but there is no such option
    2) I removed the nvidia drivers and then installed intel drivers. I removed /etc/x11/xorg.conf
    startx now find screens. I guess there is no 2d or 3d acceleration, but it works
    Thank you

  • NVIDIA Drivers on Windows 8.1

    After installing Windows 8.1, I have been unable to use the NVIDIA graphics drivers. My Thinkpad W520 has NVIDIA Optimus with the Intel HD 3000 and the NVIDIA Quadro 1000M. I have tried to install various drivers, including the most recent one from Lenovo (made for Windows 8), the most recent one from the NVIDIA website, and the version in Windows Update. All three of them quit halfway and fail to install the driver. Windows Update gives this error: Code 8007000D.

    Hello.
    Since my initial Windows 8 installation on my W520 (installation guide linked above in this thread), I've once switched back to Windows 7, due to unrelated compatibility issues, f.e. constant WLAN drops, but I've switched completely over to Win8.1.1 now, and what I've always done regarding my GPU setup in Windows is keeping it on Optimus in BIOS, then installing the latest Optimus drivers from Lenovo: (The Win8 drivers work perfectly in 8.1), and then updating the nVidia drivers through their latest driver package. (Currently running 333.11 and I have no reason to upgrade)
    One thing to be mindful of, do not allow Windows Update to upgrade your Intel or nVidia drivers. Stick to the Lenovo drivers completely for the Intel HD and to the nVidia drivers for the Quadro. Through my experience with all my ThinkPads, allowing Windows Update to upgrade hardware drivers has lead to nothing but trouble.
    1. NVIDIA Optimus Display Driver for Windows 8 (64-bit)
    2. QUADRO DESKTOP/QUADRO NOTEBOOK DRIVER RELEASE 340
    (During the nVidia install, I recommend selecting Custom Installation and checking perform a clean install, thus eliminating any conflicts with older drivers/settings)
    Instead of Step 1., you can also allow the ThinkVantage System Update to handle all your initial driver installs before upgrading the display drivers for the Quadro, it's basically the same thing, but the TVSU does everything for you in a single swoop, and is very handy.
    Hope this helps out. Cheers!

  • [solved]Xorg cound't run on Nvidia

    EDIT：thank everyone helping me, and I have solved my problems.
    NOTE:my laptop is actualty equiped with dual graphics and using wiki  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus it work prefect!
    my new laptop is ASUS A550JK which is reported has one graphics card(Nvidia GTX 850m)
    first of all , I'm confused how many graphics cards in it really because lspci's output is this:
    00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 06)
    00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor PCI Express x16 Controller (rev 06)
    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
    00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller (rev 06)
    00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI (rev 05)
    00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 (rev 04)
    00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
    00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #1 (rev d5)
    00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #3 (rev d5)
    00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #4 (rev d5)
    00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation HM86 Express LPC Controller (rev 05)
    00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller 1 [AHCI mode] (rev 05)
    00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 05)
    01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107M [GeForce GTX 850M] (rev a2)
    03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)
    04:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 5287 (rev 01)
    04:00.1 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 12)
    it seems that it has two graphics cards:
    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
    01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107M [GeForce GTX 850M] (rev a2)
    whats the fact?
    I try to collect imformations (in China network) about this laptop  ,all webpage and even ASUS information never say this laptop has dual graphics cards, and I have tried bumblebee itreturned xdisplay error..
    EDIT:maybe i am wrong, I have found two webpages that describe this laptop(ASUS A550JK4710)actually is hybrid graphics.
    secondly . Im trying to install xorg after just install package nvidia and configed using nvidia-xconfig. when running startx it reports:

    Thank you very much and I have deleted these words already. Im sorry to annoy someone...
    I try to collect imformations (in China network) about this laptop  ,all webpage and even ASUS information never say this laptop has dual graphics cards, and I have tried bumblebee itreturned xdisplay error..
    EDIT:maybe i am wrong, I have found two webpages that describe this laptop(ASUS A550JK4710)actually is hybrid graphics.
    and xorg error seems due to the deriver?

    Second, the lspci ouput indicates you have hybrid graphics.  I don't have much experience with these systems, but they are well documented in the wiki.  As far as I know you can't use *just* the NVIDIA (but I might be wrong) - I'm pretty sure if you want to use just one of the video cards you can use just the intel.  Hopefully someone with experience with hybrid graphics will confirm or correct this.
    For now, see here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus
    EDIT: after reading that wiki page I'm more doubtful of my own statements so I've crossed them out.  But it seems there are various steps needed to configure the use of the nvidia drivers.

  • NVidia drivers cause system instability

    Hello,
    I recently purchased an MSI 865 Neo2 FIS2R mother board.  Here is how
    I have it configured:
    o Power Supply - FSP400-60PFN 400W (3.3V/28A, 5V/40A, 12V/15A, 5VSB/2A,
    -5V/0.3A, -12V, 0.8A)
    o Processor - 2.8GHz P4
    o RAM - 2 512MB PC3200 Kingston HyperX CL2
    o RAID 0 - 2 Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Plus SATA drives.
    o Video - Aopen GF3Ti500
    o Primary IDE Master - TDK Indi DVD 440N
    o Secondary IDE Slave - 56X CDROM Drive
    o Floppy Drive
    I installed Windows XP on the RAID without incident.  When I tried to
    install the NVidia display drivers (45.23), the system became
    unstable.  Specifically here is what I noticed:
    o The black Windows start-up screen with the blue progress bar would
    flicker between black & blue around the same spot each time.
    o From the login screen, when I chose my account, it would
    briefly show my desktop and then I would hear the relays in my monitor
    click, the screen go black, a second click and my screen would be fine
    again.
    o If I used the display properties control panel and chose the
    advanced option, again, click, blackness, click, everything's OK.
    o I noticed that when I tried to use Window's Media player to play a
    CD, it would crash during the 2nd song.  It would crash sooner and
    sooner each time I restarted it until it was crashing as soon as I
    started it (assuming I didn't reboot).  After than IE would crash,
    Windows Explorer might crash or the system might spontaneously reboot.
    o After rebooting, the system would be less stable, with IE or Windows
    explorer crashing sooner than before (without even using Media Player).
     This would continue to get worse (across re-boots) until it would
    start crashing while loading Windows XP.
    MAT and DOT are in the default setting and I have not tried adjusting
    any voltages, etc.
    If I booted in safe mode and uninstalled the display driver, everything
    would return to normal and the system would run fine.  I checked the
    IRQs to make sure that wasn't a problem.  I noticed a device from the
    Intel Chipset and the VGA card were both sharing IRQ 16.  I don't know
    much about this (including how to change an IRQ) so I tried disabling
    the Intel device (it dealt with the USB and I have no USB devices
    currently attached).  The system didn't seem to mind having that device
    disabled.  I reinstalled the display drivers, but the system behaved
    exactly the same.
    I also tried stepping down to the 44.03 version of the drivers but
    they actually made the system worse (my screen split in half and
    things turned purple!).
    I also tried swapping between the GF3Ti500 and a GeForce4 MMX 440 The
    only difference is that while starting windows, the monitor would
    briefly go black instead of flickering between black and blue.  Both
    cards run fine in my old machine, an MSI NForce mobo, using the
    45.23 drivers.
    Since the problems usually started when I was using Media Player, I
    tried disabling the sound device.  The system seemed to run fine (with
    the exception of the monitor clicking).  I could play movies with the
    media player, browse with IE, etc. with no crashes.  I couldn't find
    any resources conflicts between the sound and the vga card.
    Windows trouble shooter suggested updating the mobo BIOS.  I was
    previously running 1.3. I tried updating to 1.7.  The reflash seemed
    to go fine.  But when I rebooted, all I got was a black screen (no
    beep).  I looked at the D-Bracket and noticed that it was stuck on the
    RTC test.  I don't think that's the problem.  The next step is
    initialization of the video system.  I tried the emergency recovery
    procedure (with the 1.7 BIOS).  It worked, but still the screen
    remained black, stuck on the same test.
    How do I get (either) video card to work?  And should I just leave the
    system flashed to 1.7, or try to use the emergency recovery program to
    get back to 1.3?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey Guys.  Thanks for the help.  I don't doubt that the NVidia drivers are fine, they're just part of the puzzle.  Just to be sure, I got a new PSU.  Here are it's specs:
    +5V/40A, +12V/24A, +3.3V/32A, -5V/-0.5A, -12V/1.0A, +5V SB/2A, max load 530W.
    As I mentioned earlier, I had tried updating the BIOS to 1.7, after which it sticks on the RTC test (see my original post for details).  After installing the new PSU, it still stuck on the RTC test.  I tried reflashing to 1.3, but now the memory test is failing.  Does that seem right?  The RTC test is after the memory test, so why should reflashing to 1.3 cause a memory failure?  I'm assuming the reflash didn't work correctly.  If I can get it to work (fingers crossed) I'll let you know what happens.

  • Installing 186.81 Nvidia Drivers for Windows 7 64-bit on Lenovo Laptops 2700M/3700M NVS140M

    UPDATE: I removed old 186.03 info and replaced with new driver info. Also I changed the device ID for the 3700m becasue it was not correct. I finally got a w700ds to test it on. Removed pre-edited INF files becsue they are no longer valid.
    Here are some instructions on how to get the Nvidia drivers installed instead of waiting for Lenovo to update theirs. I take no responsibility if you break anything. I am a tinkerer and not a expert. It is working fine for me on a w700 with a 2700m.  The NVS140M section may not work I have no means to test it. Let me know if you do it and it works fine. This should also technically work for Vista 64-bit.
    1. Go tohttp://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook_winvista_win7_x64_186.81_whql.html and download the drivers.
    2. Run the install package. It will fail to install but it will extract the drivers to C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\186.81\International\Display
    3. Using the below information to edit the appropriate INF files. Just open them with Notepad. There will be 2 instances of each line you need to replace.
    2700M/3700M
    Edit the NVBL.INF file.
    Search for:
    %NVIDIA_DEV.061E.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_061E&SUBSYS_0539103C
    %NVIDIA_DEV.063A.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_063A&SUBSYS_30EC103C

    5. Save the file and run the Setup.exe in the same directory. It should install fine.

    To simplify things for NVS 140M users:
    Download this file
    Replace the copy included with installer in the 'Display' folder
    Run setup.exe
    This file includes the fix mentioned in the original post, as well as a registry entry for enabling brightness controls, as they didn't work for me with the nVidia drivers.

  • Unable to install NVIDIA drivers on Windows 8 (Boot Camp)

    I'm running Windows 8 on a secondary partition on my MacBook Pro (17-inch, 2009).
    I have, in the past, been able to successfully install Windows 8 on a second partition on this mac and get everything working, including all of my device drivers. I had to erase that partition, though, so I no longer have that installation.
    I've installed Windows 8 again, but I'm not able to get my NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT or 9400M graphics drivers to install!
    First of all, I tried installing both 5.0.5033 and 5.1.5621 support software. After a lot of hassle, I got 5.1.5621 to install, but only through the BootCamp\Drivers\Apple\BootCamp.msi file, not through the BootCamp\setup.exe file (the setup.exe tells me that this version of Boot Camp is not intended for this computer model).
    When I install the drivers that way, they don't install the NVIDIA drivers.
    Next, I've gone directly to the NVIDIA drivers folder inside the support software, and tried to install them from there. i've also downloaded newer versions of the NVIDIA drivers from their website, and with all versions of the NVIDIA drivers, I've had to go through a huge hassle to get them to go to the setup wizard (instead of telling me there's no compatible hardware).
    Then, I managed to get them to start installing, but - after Windows has me confirm that I really want to install the driver, despite it's signature - the screen invariably goes black, and my computer shuts down instantly, in what I can only assume is a kernel panic.
    This is incredibly frustrating, and I don't know what to do about it. I can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem. Can anyone help me?

  • After upgrading to 2.6.28, any Nvidia drivers == CRASH

    I finally did an update to my system, and now with 2.6.28, No matter which nvidia drivers I use, things work fine in Xorg for an indeterminent amount of time, then all the sudden, my screens blank and the box is completely unresponsive to ping.  At this point, touching the keyboard causes beeps.  Presumably the kernel has paniced.
    I've tried nvidia-180.29-3, nvidia-173xx (173.14.17-2) nvidia-96xx(96.43.11-2) as well as getting nvidia drivers directly from nvidia's site, doing an uninstall through here, etc.  I know the issue is related to nvidia, since when I switch to vesa, the problem goes away.
    Interestingly, the crash always seems to happen as a result of me typing on the keyboard.  For example, I will be using mutt in an mrxvt terminal, and as soon as I hit 'j' or 'backspace' the box crashes.  It never crashes when just using the mouse or not as the result of typing.  Of course, this only happens after around 30 minutes or so, as I am using this setup right now and typing is working fine.
    Presumably the rest of the Arch community isn't hitting this or it would have been addressed by now.  My device is:

    Actually I was wrong, this isn't a kernel panic, and may not even be related to Nvidia.
    Xorg just plain crashes, and it does seem to be in keyboard handling code:

    Where can I get symbols to debug this?  Or is there way to just run Xorg inside gdb from the start?

  • Unable to install latest Nvidia drivers. (GT72)

    I just got my GT72 in the mail and now I'm about setting it up.
    When I tried installing the latest Nvidia drivers (340.52-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe)
    and the setup failed with an error that it can't find any compatible graphic adapter.
    The Nvidia drivers that was running on the GT72 was 333.something, I don't remember.
    I tried uninstalling this driver that I had just the "Microsoft basic VGA adapter", but the Nvidia Setup is still not working.
    And yes, I was making sure that I switched the graphics to NVIDIA before installing the driver.
    Any suggestions?

    Follow these steps to do s fresh clean installation of any version of nvidia drivers:-
    Press "Windows Key" + "R" together and type %temp% then press "Ok".
    In that new window, press “Ctrl” + “A” together to select all the files and folders
    Then press “Shift” + “Delete” to remove them. (leave few files which you are not able to delete)
    Try "Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) " to completely uninstall AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers and packages from your system, without leaving leftovers behind (including registry keys, folders and files, driver store) :
    http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/
    1. Better to create a "system restore" point before using it.
    2. You do NOT need to uninstall "NVIDIA Graphics" drivers before using DDU
    3. Open the link and click on "Download" button. It will open another page, select the topmost "Download" button for the latest version.
    4. Then run : "DisplayDriverUninstaller.exe" file
    5. It will give you a notice to create "Restore Point", so better to create one ( if not created earlier ).
    6. Click "No" when it asks "Reboot in safe mode now ?"
    7. Select Nvidia from the dropdown menu on the top, Select all the 5 checkboxes there. Then click on "Clean and Restart" button.
    8. try "Perform Clean Installation" while installing the latest driver

  • Extremely slow kde environment w/ nvidia drivers

    Hello All, hopefully I haven't double-posted this:
    I have an "Quadro NVS 285" pci-express card in my desktop.  As of KDE 4.7 it's un-usably slow when running KDE.  It doesn't matter if I use the nouveau or nivida proprietary drivers, though the open source drivers seem just a little bit better, both behave really badly.  There's alot of tearing when dragging windows, and may parts of the display take a very long time to refresh.  I've tried running both the current kernel and the lts version of the kernel.  I recently upgraded from 2.6.32.49-1-lts to 3.0.17-1-lts but both were pretty much equally bad.  I think the problems are somehow related to kwin.
    xfce 4 runs nicely enough, in fact, I have no serious trouble running amarok or konsole under xfce.
    Meanwhile, certain applications run under kwin.  Chromium seems to run reasonable well, so do xfce4's Terminal and unison-gtk, I suspect what the applications hold in commen is that they use the gtk2 widget set. 
    Konsole also runs sort-of OK, though it kind of lags when you move the window or open a new window.
    Most KDE applications, such as amarok and systemsettings, fail to start, with this warning when launched from a terminal emulator:
    QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
    Googling for that reveals that some Fedora folks were having trouble around version 15 with something similar while using the Nvidia proprietary drivers, though at least one person was using nouveau as well.It's occurred to me that maybe somehow I've still got remnants of my nvidia-proprietary driver hanging around, but for the life of me, I can't think of anything else to do to get rid of them that I haven't already done, short of re-installing, that is, I've:
    - blacklisted the nvidia modules in rc.conf
    - reinstalled all my libgl related packages
    besides the obvious stuff like installing nouveau and removing the nvidia-lts package.
    Here's some more symptoms:
    Starting an "xterm" causes the terminal emulator to hang, the xterm never actually starts, nor is any error message displayed.  On the other hand "xeyes" works and so does urxvt, so I have no idea what's special about an "xterm" that makes it fail to start.
    Attempting to start the graphical version of emacs in KDE (it works fine in XFCE4 or if invoked with "-nw") causes an almost total lock up of X11, but I can VT switch, login kill emacs, and things return to the state the were in before I started emacs.
    This is actually a problem that I've had for some time, but a long time ago, KDE was  usable when using the proprietary Nvidia drivers, this was probably back when nvidia-lts 285.05.09-2 was the current driver; KDE is also reasonably usable if I use the VESA drivers, though these do not support the resolution of one of my monitors, so using them isn't a great solution for me.
    I've tried moving my .kde4 and .config files (so as to emulate starting from a blank slate), but my problems have persisted.  I"m almost certain that I've disabled desktop effects, I've got:
    [Compositing]
    Enabled=false
    In my .kwinrc; as I've mentioned, I can't open systemsettings to check there.
    Any help that could be given would be much appreciated.

    First of all,did your system worked properly ever, if so when it was? Because failing apps like amarok doesn't sound like a drivers issue. Are you familiar with Arch so we can be sure you did go through installation process properly i.e. xorg/mesa/ installation, X configuration (running nvidia-xconfig for nvidia systems) etc? Do you have some reason to run LTS kernel and nvidia? Maybe try regular kernel/nvidia packages? I didn't have problems with it on nvidia 7100 (still not quadro).

  • Cannot update nvidia drivers after installing bootcamp drivers

    Hi everyone,
    I'm sorry to start again a topic that in my view has been treated many times, in many forums but HAS NOT been solved so far...I looked over many forums over the week end and tried a number of "tricks"
    I'm running Windows 7 Pro Sp1 32bits on a MacbookPro 17 - intel core duo with two graphic cards but for better performance running the Nvidia GeForce 9600m GT
    I have installed Windows 7 this week and then Bootcamp 4.0 - thus i have now Bootcamp drivers, ie 261.41
    I have installed Battlefield 3 which asked me to update drivers to at least 285.27
    I downloaded them from Nvidia site 285.27 AND 285.38 (m version - notebook) but when i start the indatllation i get the message "hardware not comptatible"
    So far i have tried 1) to install non-beta older versions but higher than 261.41 (which is by the way only available on bootcamp) - it does not work 2) uninstall nvidia drivers, restarting windows with VGA driver and install newest nvidia drivers - it does not work;
    What i have not tried (as it was not clear on other forum): 1) replace an INF file? - i did not understand what i have to do here 2) update other drivers? mobility? ATA? - i'm not sure what people were talking about here?
    SORRY MY MESSAGE IS LONG BUT I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP - and want to play battlefield 3 that i pre bought by the way... ;-)

    Hi,
    I make this post as I found a way to solve my issue and this could be interesting to other people:
    1. Download the latest nvidia drivers (285.38) on nvidia website: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?
    2. Launch the .exe it will unpack the package in one folder: most likely NVIDIA/DisplayDriver/285.38/WinVista_Win7/International
    3. Your installation will be cancelled through "hardware not compatible" - no worries you still have the unpacked stuff.
    4. Go to http://laptopvideo2go.com/drivers/win7x32/285.38/disclaimer and click on "Click here to download the modified INF file." on the bottom - this will download a file called nvwi.inf - copy it
    5. Go to the unpacked folder and go to the folder named Display.Driver - paste the nvwi.inf - it will replace the actual one
    6. On the root folder (International) click on setup and you will be allowed to install the drivers - note that i have accepted during installation two times that it install drivers not "allowed by windows" (different topic)
    Hope this helps.

    No ... the problem is in the kernel that comes precompiled.
    I did this test.
    The first time I installed the kernel I unloaded nvidiafb since I dont like it.
    When I install nvidiafb back something strange happends. Nvidia module fails to load.
    The modprobe sais it cannot find the device nvidia.ko ... but it is there!
    So my best guess is, there is something with the kernel. Any ideas?
    Problem resolved, installed older driver

  • Blank screen with proprietary nvidia drivers [SOLVED]

    I've just installed arch on a new computer, and have encountered an issue- I can't get it running with the proprietary drivers, just nouveau, which is quite the handicap on a GeForce 660.
    I used the beginner's guide since my last fresh install was using the arch installation framework. Everything went more or less smoothly, and I booted in to a working system- indeed, I can still boot into it just fine if I chroot in with my install media and swap back to nouveau. If I don't, I get the typical udev boot messages and all, and then it blanks out instead of going to the login prompt. It also does this if I uninstall both nvidia and nouveau drivers.
    I've looked at some threads over this, and none of them seemed to apply. I've tried both current and 304 drivers, regenerated initramfs, and blacklisted nouveau.
    One last bit of information that may or may not be relevant: at least one of the threads mentioned these issues being related to GRUB, while I'm booting straight from UEFI using efibootmgr- not sure if that could be related in any way.

    Hm, I seem to have solved it by blacklisting i915, as suggested in the talk page on nvidia drivers for UEFI users.
