I have just received a new laptop and I am running into problems with e17, e18 and e19.
The laptop has the GeForce GTX 860M, which means I have to deal with Optimus. If I try to work w/ bumblebee, I get a warning when I start e saying my card doesn't support OpenGL. This makes sense, I think, because you have to run each application via optimus to use the Nvidia chip. The wm itself is running on the intel chip. If I do the more recent xrandr configurations, I get a mostly blank screen. Mostly. Because I can see the pointer, and if I click it changes color. But nothing else is shown on the screen. I can try to provide more information if required, but I am mostly curious to know if anybody else has gotten e18 or e19 to work using the second method. It is a big laptop with a lot of disk and the battery life will be close to 0 regardless of what tricks I pull with the graphics. Failing that, does anybody know the proper invocations/methods/whatever to start e18 or e19 such that the nvidia chip is always being used via bumblebee? Thanks, Mik PS - Gmail is giving me fits. My apologies is this email is sent twice. -- In a world of pirate v. ninja, I pilot a gundam -- In a world of ninja v. pirate, I pilot a Gundam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
