Maybe Jockey could show a similar step-by-step guide for people using Multi-GPU graphic cards? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to jockey in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660443 Title: Recommended drivers don't work with Nvidia Optimus Status in NVIDIA Drivers Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Nvidia's hybrid graphics technology "Optimus" (combines GeForce with an Intel graphics chip) is currently not supported in the Nvidia Linux drivers. When you install the drivers Ubuntu won't startup into graphics mode anymore. If you don't install the Nvidia drivers Ubuntu just uses the Intel graphics, and everything works fine. The bug: when you install Ubuntu on a PC with Nvidia Optimus, jockey recommends you install the (non-working) Nvidia drivers. Solution: detect Optimus and only recommend the Nvidia drivers when it's not present. Tested on Ubuntu 10.10 final.
