|
|
I have searched every forum High and low on how to get my Samsung RF711 laptop to work with NVIDIA + Intel:
Including this guide: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NVIDIA_Driver_with_Optimus_Laptops
I have tried bumblebee which sort of works, but I can't turn on KDE desktop effects for opengl it says to check for a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (which I don't know how to configure for a bumblebee considering /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia takes care of it)
Which results in a black screen no matter where I put the xrandr modeset command. (occasionally I will get cannot open display)
I am at a loss and literally pulling my hair out on this!!
My VGA intel card is at PCI:1:0:0
while my nvidia is 0:2:0
Any Ideas on how I can get this working? |

Thanks, I had some time away from the issue and stop being tunnel visioned.
I was going over my kernel setup it looks like I shouldn't of used genkernel - it left out alot of modesetting for the intel drivers.
I am going to try and compile it again and see what happens. |
