notebook with dual graphics

[toshiro]

Hi,

I have a notebook that has both an Intel and a Nvidia graphics cards, I've installed Kubuntu on it and I found the installation selected the Intel graphics card and configured X to use it. Is it possible to modify this behaviour and make the Nvidia card the default one?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, but with some effort. We need to know a lot more, such as the brand and model of your laptop. Also, please show the output of

lspci -k

After using Bumblebee for I while I decided to just set the for the session appropriate video card at boot in the BIOS.

I, too, abandoned Bumblebee after nVidia binary blob started working properly on my T520 with the firmware set in discrete mode. Before the 304.xx series, the driver would fail to load for some reason.

Hi Steve,
I have an ASUS R501VM N56VM with dual graphics. I have installed the extra packages from http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu which, as well as upgrading the video packages, it also upgraded my kernel to 3.7.0-7. It still only shows the Intel driver. The output that I get from the lspci commands is:

I am wondering if you have any suggestions as to what I can do to use the GeForce GT 630M video card and not the Intel Graphics Controller.

Shows that your nVidia graphics is detected. However, the kernel is loading the open source Nouveau driver. If the kernel were loading the binary driver, you'd see:

        Kernel driver in use: nvidia

I'd recommend using nVidia all the time, unless you need longer battery life. This will be simpler to set up and operate than Bumblebee. In your BIOS/UEFI firmware setup, disable "integrated" graphics. On my ThinkPad, that means selecting "discrete" graphics. Next, boot into Kubuntu. If have an existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, delete it. If you have an existing xrandrrc somewhere in your home directory hierarchy, delete it.

Run

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

to install the binary driver.

Run

nvidia-settings

to configure your card and create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

I'm working from memory here, but I think that's what I did. Oshunluvr might chime in with more info, he's got a lot of experience with nVidia.

Hi Steve,

Firstly, I decided to revert back to the kernel 5.2.0-22 after trying the 5.7.0 kernel from xorg-edgers. So I now have my keyboard lights working and everything is back to "normal".

My BIOS has no option to alter the graphics, so I was not able to disable anything related to the graphic card. I was able to install the nvidia-current and the output that I got was:

I tried running nvidia-settings and I got the output shown in the attached graphic and then quit. I decided to try re-running the nvidia-settings as root and this resulted in the Laptop screen only having 640x480 resolution.

After deleting the xorg.conf my system was back to behaving better and the lspci now gives

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 630M] (rev a1)

This now looks as though I am now using the nvidia driver. Is this correct?

I checked the output of Kinfocenter and now the OpenGL give the message "Could not initialize OpenGL". The X-Server now gives the output in the attached graphic.

Thanks for your help.

[SteveRiley]

Yes, the kernel is now using the binary driver. But X isn't. May I please see the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Also, does your computer's firmware (BIOS or UEFI) allow you to switch graphics to "discrete only" mode or something similarly worded?

[NoWorries]

Yes, the kernel is now using the binary driver. But X isn't. May I please see the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Also, does your computer's firmware (BIOS or UEFI) allow you to switch graphics to "discrete only" mode or something similarly worded?

Sorry to say that after searching thourgh all the menus, the BIOS has no graphic options. Currently my system cannot support 3D (eg Google Earth) and OpenGL screen savers which indicates that the nvidia card is not setup correctly.

What's stumping me a bit is that X is skipping both the proprietary nVidia driver and the open-source Nouveau driver. On my ThinkPad, if I leave Optimus enabled but don't use Bumblebee, then X will load the Intel driver and the open-source Nouveau driver. If I disable Optimus and choose "discrete," then I can run either the nVidia blob or Nouveau. And to make you hate me even more, I can say that it "just works" without even running nvidia-settings. I can boot the laptop by itself, or in my dock at home that's connected to one digital monitor via DVI, or in my other dock at work that's connected to two digital monitors via HDMI, and always obtain the results you'd expect. I have no xorg.conf; auto-detection works flawlessly.

I wonder if through some blacklist-fu you can make X ignore the Intel driver and thus load the nVidia driver. Not sure. What's the output of

sudo updatedb && locate nvidia_drv

. . . And to make you hate me even more, I can say that it "just works" without even running nvidia-settings.

I can re-assure you that there is not an ounce of hate in me towards you or anyone else on this very friendly forum. In fact I have a VERY HIGH REGARD for your capability, knowledge and support for Kubuntu.

When I run the command you suggest, I get

:~$ sudo updatedb && locate nvidia_drv
/etc/alternatives/x86_64-linux-gnu_nvidia_drv
/usr/lib/nvidia-current/xorg/nvidia_drv.so
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so
:~$

I decided to install Bumblebee by following the procedures from here and when I repeat the above command I get

:~$ sudo updatedb && locate nvidia_drv 
/home/aurora/nvidia_drv.txt
/home/aurora/.kde/share/apps/RecentDocuments/nvidia_drv.txt.desktop
/usr/lib/nvidia-current/xorg/nvidia_drv.so
:~$

I had no difficulty installing Bumblebee and to the best of my knowledge it is working great as all applications that require 3D now work. The output I get from a test using optirun gives:

So it looks like that for systems with dual graphic cards and no option in the BIOS to select a particular card, Bumblebee is the current solution. The only caveat is that optirun is required to use the nvidia card. I will be very interested to see what happens when I install Kubuntu 13.04 on this Laptop. I will not do this until LibreOffice 4.0 has multimedia support.

Thanks for your help and advice and I can now say that all is well.

Aww, *blush*

Glad that it's working for you, and that your Bumblebee went smoothly. It could very well be that the nVidia blob simply can't run on its own when the computer won't allow you to disable the Intel graphics. Curiously, it would refuse to run on my T520 even in discrete mode until version 304-something-something, then it just magically started working. I'm glad to be rid of Nouveau; while I admire the effort those folks are putting into the thing, it's still quite fragile. I could crash X just by wiggling a window too quickly.
