Hello everyone,
I have a:
| Code: | 01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M/810M/820M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M] (rev a1)
Subsystem: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd GeForce GT 620M |
I have followed the wiki article on bumblebee but could not get it to work, I have installed the following:
| Code: | [ebuild R #] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-390.157:0/390::gentoo USE="X modules -dist-kernel -modules-sign -persistenced -static-libs -strip -tools" ABI_X86="(64) -32" 0 KiB
[ebuild R ] sys-power/bbswitch-0.8_p20211129::gentoo USE="-dist-kernel" 0 KiB
[ebuild R ] x11-misc/bumblebee-3.2.1_p20210112-r4::gentoo USE="bbswitch" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia -nouveau" 0 KiB
[ebuild R ~] x11-misc/primus-0.2-r3::gentoo USE="libglvnd" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" 0 KiB |
but was never able to get the nvidia card to work(I have tried setting the bridge to primus and virtualgl, i just get a different bridge name in the error):
| Code: | adel@samsung ~ $ primusrun glxinfo
primus: fatal: Bumblebee daemon reported: error: [XORG] (EE) No devices detected.
adel@samsung ~ $ optirun glxinfo
[ 190.023842] [ERROR]Accel/display bridge virtualgl is not installed.
adel@samsung ~ $ optirun glxinfo |
strangely enough:
| Code: | samsung ~ # cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch
0000:01:00.0 ON
|
any clue on what to do here or where to look?

Did you happen to notice the warning at the top of the page? Bumblebee hasn't been touched for more than 10 years.
I use sys-power/switcheroo-control and it works out of the box on Wayland. I don't know how it is on Xorg.
Best Regards,
Georgi |
