Hi Luis, I've checked:
lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310M] (rev a2) cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep PCI BusID "PCI:1:0:0" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" Section "Device" Identifier "Device1" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "IgnoreEDID" #Screen 0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "intel" VendorName "onboard" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" #Screen 1 EndSection I even stopped the display manager and reconfigured vgl_config, then rebooted. Should work in my opinion. Am I missing something? Peter Am Dienstag, 3.
