[Bug 700646] Re: nVIDIA 425M (with Optimus) is not detected
Lekensteyn, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

A further patch has been added to the upstream xf86-video-nouveau driver: author Maarten Lankhorst maarten.lankho...@canonical.com 2013-06-10 11:06:35 (GMT) committer Maarten Lankhorst maarten.lankho...@canonical.com 2013-06-10 11:06:38 (GMT) commit 2e34d11541e1f987c7ca0556592cb16f4d232299 nouveau: enable support for normal optimus configuration nvd7 has no display engine, only enable sink output capability if there is a crtc. drmmode doesn't work without crtc's, so prevent crashes by skipping the drmmode code in that case.

PRIME multi-GPU support was added to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1.0.2. See http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_itempx=MTE4MzA When using this driver in conjunction with xserver 1.13 it should no longer be necessary to use Bumblebee. If you need the NVIDIA GPU to scan-out what is being rendered (drawn) by the Intel chip (such as if the machine's only display connector is wired to the NVIDIA GPU), you will also need the reverse PRIME support described at http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_itempx=MTI5NDU See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau for the driver version available in each Ubuntu release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/700646 Title: nVIDIA 425M (with Optimus) is not detected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/700646/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 700646] Re: nVIDIA 425M (with Optimus) is not detected
According to the status matrix at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix the NVC0 support in the Nouveau driver has improved since your post on 20th April 2011. Further to note 9 on that page, the upcoming Linux 3.1 kernel will be able to generate the necessary firmware automatically - a PPA of the first release candidate of this kernel (3.1-rc1) should soon be available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ See http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_itempx=OTcxMg for further details. The proprietary NVIDIA driver has also improved and may be worth another try - the latest stable release is 275.19, available from http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-275.19-driver.html It fixes several bugs. More information about the bumblebee (prime-ng 2.0) for Optimus that Rocko described above can be found at http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_itempx=OTQxNg An alternative approach for some Optimus laptops was also added to the Linux 3.0 kernel which will be used by the upcoming Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot - see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_itempx=OTQzMA for further details (this article refers to the 2.6.40 kernel but it was decided to rename this kernel to 3.0). Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot alpha 3 will be released on August 4th 2011 if you want to test it before it's final release on October 13th 2011 - see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/700646 Title: nVIDIA 425M (with Optimus) is not detected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/700646/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 700646] Re: nVIDIA 425M (with Optimus) is not detected
I can confirm that the nvidia driver works with Bumblebee. Although the nouveau driver supports NVC0, it will not work out-of-the-box with Optimus cards. It may work with Bumblebee though. The recommended method on installing Bumblebee is: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mj-casalogic/bumblebee sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install bumblebee At the moment, the properietary driver is used, but this may change in the future. In fact, Bumblebee default to using nouveau in OpenSUSE.

This will give you nvidia optimus support in Linux: https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee ie do something like: mkdir ~/src cd ~/src git clone https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee.git cd bumblebee sudo ./install.sh Note that you can uninstall it if you want via the ~/src/bumblebee /install-files/bumblebee-uninstall script. bumblebee uses the Intel card for normal graphics and VirtualGL to use the nvidia card if you run the application preceding it with optirun64 (or optirun32 for 32 bit applications like wine).

[Bug 700646] Re: nVIDIA 425M (with Optimus) is not detected
My guess is that the problem is much worse than just lack of driver support, because if you can't turn the intel card off via the BIOS, you can't use the nvidia card because the video output is driven by the intel card, meaning it's not as simple as just writing a driver for the nvidia card - you also need to be able to copy the output back to the intel card's framebuffer. (eg look http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1657660.) The root cause is actually that there is no support for optimus in either the proprietary or open-source drivers, and there is unlikely to be any for some time because (a) nvidia are refusing to support it or to provide information about how to support it, and (b) you simply cannot turn it off unless there is hardware support switchable via the BIOS to do so. It's a complete disaster for nvidia cards in linux. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/700646 Title: nVIDIA 425M (with Optimus) is not detected -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
