Thanks Akemi,

I have installed Fedora and Ubuntu on a USB drive and I was able to get
bumblebee to work, however I was not so successful when I tried it on
CentOS 6.2. I used the packages from ELRepo and they were installed
successfully but it did no work from the get go. Modify the config file and
I will still boot up with the intel driver.

Regarding the lack of Optimus support for the Nvidia Linux driver, you
may want to try 'bumblebee' [1] available from ELRepo:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/bumblebee

bumblebee and the required packages are currently in the testing
repository. With enough feedback, they can be promoted to the main
repository.

That advert says the laptop has Optimus technology which is Nvidia speak 
for it also having integrated graphics, Intel in this case I would assume.

To the best of my knowledge Nvidia do not currently support Optimus on 
Linux. Is is possible to disable the Intel onboard graphics? I don't 
have any first hand experience of these products.

You should probably ask on the nvidia linux forums if you require more 
detailed help, or start by googling "nvidia optimus linux" and see what 
comes up.

Don't see any thing that indicates that there is a second intel video only
thing that is intel is the processor and the chipset

But what I was asking was whether this version of kmod-nvidia uses the
nvidia-released support for that card. You said you bought a new laptop
that this is on - is that brand new out of the box, or new-to-you, used?

*That* is extremely strange. Could there be a second, Intel, video?

This is interesting now that you mention it, the sticker on the laptops
says "nvidia GEFORCE GT 635M 2GB" and when I run lspci I see the following.
 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GF106 [GeForce GT
555M] (rev a1).

I verified that nvidia 635M is supported on the nvidia site.

 The correct version is x86_64
[wildfire@wildfire ~]$ rpm -qa | grep nvidia
nvidia-x11-drv-295.53-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-295.53-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
[wildfire@wildfire ~]$

I don't know if this will shed any light but usually before you see the
login screen you will see nvidia once it have been installed correctly,
however I am see intel which is strange.

You say that you deleted xorg.conf, and could then boot into runlevel 5
using the default drivers. If you do an lsmod, does it show nouveau?

Second question: does the version of kmod-nvidia support your graphics card?

Oh, and did you yum install it, so that you got nvidia-x11-drv?

[CentOS] [OT] Cannot boot into GUI after Video Driver is Installed

[Earl Ramirez]

Good Day,

I am not 100% certain if here is the right place to bring this up, however
if this is the wrong place for this please redirect me to right place.

A few weeks ago I was trying to install KVM on my laptop, I bought a new
laptop and immediately after I install the nVidia drivers I receive the
following error "libfcoe_device_notification: NETDEV_UNREGISTER lo"

I spent several hours googling the error and there are several issues,
however none of them are related to my situation.

I am running CentOS 6.2
LSB Version:
