 |
|
Hi all!
I'm on a fresh 64bit gentoo install.
I have both intel and nvidia video card (Geforce 610M).
I want to run kwin from optirun (bumblebee).
If I run it seems to work fine.
While if I run kwin from optirun I have the follow errors.
From bumblebeed:
| Code: | [WARN][XORG] (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/".
[WARN][XORG] (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/".

[ERROR][XORG] (EE) NOUVEAU(0): Error initialising acceleration. Falling back to NoAccel
[ERROR][XORG] (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
[INFO]X successfully started in 1 seconds |
From optirun kwin --replace (with nouveau)
| Code: |
Unable to load library icui18n "Cannot load library icui18n: (libicui18n.so.48: impossibile aprire il file oggetto condiviso: File o directory non esistente)"

kwin(2836): Failed to initialize compositing, compositing disabled
kwin(2836): Consult http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KWin/4.0-release-notes#Setting_up |
From optirun kwin --replace (with nvidia drivers)
| Code: | kwin(15863): Couldn't find framebuffer configuration for depth 32 (no ARGB GLX visual)!

Thanks for any help

afaik, bumblebee doesn't supports the nvidia blob, only nouveau.

Of course it does, that's what it was written for. Nouveau support was added much later.
What I don't think bumblebee supports is running entire environments with it. It's meant to run *individual* fully opengl apps (apps where you have one window that is being rendered into it by opengl). |

ok, then my bad.
what I do know is that it was designed for opengl support, e.g. vdpau won't work.

Yes and No.
I'm using bumblebee to get my VGA Output working (Thinkpad W520 with VGA hardwired to nvidia card). Therefore I'm running RazorQT as a small second environment
Now I'm able to open different applications on the second screen (normally a beamer). Obviosly you get a single screen, not twinview or something else.
