Thanks for your information. The problem has been solved. It is caused by
the nvidia Optimus feature.

Thanks  Salvatore, and thanks everyone.

Finally I got it solved by follow Salvatore's suggestion. I am using the
bumblebee project.

there are still some other minor problems solved before success running
bumblebee.

The vgl init script doesn't work on xdm. the xauth section should have a
update. the start function of /etc/init.d/vgl was updated. paste here for
anyone may need it.

start() {
ebegin "Starting VirtualGL"
truncate --size=0 /etc/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key

# Check if XAUTHORITY was set successfully, if not wait a bit and let X
to start
[ -z "$XAUTHORITY" ] && sleep 3 && set_xauth
[ -e "$XAUTHORITY" ] || sleep 3
for i in `xauth -f $XAUTHORITY list | awk '{print $3}'`; do
xauth -f /etc/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key add $DISPLAY . $i && \
chmod 644 /etc/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key
done
eend $?
}


and i915(and its modsetting ) is required for my intel onboard card, but we
have to disable all framebuffer driver options before going that.

else the screen will get blank during boot stage.

first of all sorry for my poor english :-$

you may check your hardware PCI ID by "lspci -ns 01:00.0".
make sure that like below manual (Link. you can find easily nvidia
download site)
whether your hardware is supported or not.

http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/295.53/README/supportedchips.html

if there is no same pci id, your hardware is not supported yet.

I've met some same problem due to purchase "gtx 560 SE".
so I changed to "gtx 560 Ti" and same problem is resolved.

this  is the old way
to do the trick, instead this  is an
interesting recent project but I haven't tried it yet.

Yes, the card has optimus technology, could you give a detail action what I
should do?

I tried to compile driver the intel video card (i915), but that let my
screen blank during boot phase(after udev started). my screen gone back
after turned off the driver (i915).

Thanks your help.

but I got error "screen not found" when I try to use it. is there
configuration missing?

Hi,

xorg.conf,


Delete your xorg.conf file.  Then, create 
"/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf" with these contents:



Section "Device"
Identifier "NVidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti"
Driver  "nvidia"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "NVidia GT 610M"
DefaultDepth24
Option "metamodes" "1920x1080 +0+0"
SubSection "Display"
Depth  24
EndSubSection
EndSection


(Replace "1920x1080" with the resolution you want.)

Also make sure to start "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" when 
starting X.  Unfortunately, Gentoo does not do this automatically (like 
Ubuntu and other distros), so you need to do it manually by putting this 
in "/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/95-nvidia-settings"



#!/bin/sh
[ -x /opt/bin/nvidia-settings ] &&
/opt/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only > /dev/null 2>&1


and make it executable:

$ chmod +x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/95-nvidia-settings
