You can try to follow the bumblebee installation instructions as shown on the website. Also, if you could provide your DSDT info following the instructions at the bottom of the page, that would help see what's the configuration of the G770. See below:
https://launchpad.net/~hybrid-graphics-linux -------------- ### Bumblebee -------------- Bumblebee is designed to be as stable as possible project. That means you will probably have less functionnality than in IronHide, but a greater stability. You can use your nVidia card for rendering graphics which will be displayed using the Intel card but cannot disable the GPU. See 'Power Management' below. Please join the bumblebee channel on Freenode if you wish to help. -------------- ## Installing -------------- First of all, if you were using an old version of Bumblebee (<2.3 non-Arch distribution), please run this the first time before switching to a newer version: $ wget https://raw.github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/master/cleanup $ chmod +x cleanup $ sudo ./cleanup -------------- # Package install -------------- Ubuntu: 1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable 1bis. If you are on Ubuntu prior to 11.10 and want newer drivers (recommended) than the ones available in the official repos, run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates 2. sudo apt-get update 3. sudo apt-get install bumblebee Arch Linux: AUR package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49469 Instructions in the ArchWiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee -------------- # Using the installation script: -------------- First, you need to install VirtualGL > 2.2.1 (2.2.90 is advised) and nvidia driver. Tarballs can be found at https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/downloads Download the tarball named like bumblebee-VERSION.tar.gz, extract and install it: 1. Download 2. Extract: $ tar xf bumbleee-VERSION.tar.gz 3. Change your directory to the extracted folder: $ cd bumblebee-VERSION 4. Run the installer: $ sudo ./install Installation instructions for getting the code from git: $ git clone git://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee.git Users who want to test the development code should run: $ git clone git://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee.git -b develop --depth 1 Then in order to install: $ cd Bumblebee $ sudo ./install -------------- ## Usage -------------- After the initial bumblebee installation, you need to add yourself to the 'bumblebee' group: $ sudo usermod -a -G bumblebee YOURUSERNAME Replace YOURUSERNAME accordingly and please double check the command, if you forget the '-a' option, you remove yourself from other groups. After adding yourself to the group, you need to re-login for the changes to apply. To see which drivers nouveau/intel/nvidia are being used, run this command: lspci -vmk | grep -A 8 -B 2 VGA Applications can be started using bumblebee by prefixing it with optirun. For example, starting Firefox can be done with: optirun firefox For a WebGL benchmark, install google-chrome or use a WebGL-enabled browser and can try it with/without optirun and report the FPS values on the mailing list: optirun google-chrome http://webglsamples.googlecode.com/hg/aquarium/aquarium.html # close window google-chrome http://webglsamples.googlecode.com/hg/aquarium/aquarium.html On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 9:43 AM, Zone Asia <goro...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I was looking at your website and followed your suggestion to join the > team. > > I have a G770 Lenovo, but I am not the most experienced computer user. > SO, I have no idea what I should install to make sure that Xubuntu Linux > operates my laptop to its potential. > > Any suggestions or advice would be welcome. > > Thank you > -- > This message was sent from Launchpad by > Zone Asia (https://launchpad.net/~gorojaa-h) > using the "Contact this team" link on the Hybrid Graphics Linux team page > (https://launchpad.net/~hybrid-graphics-linux). > For more information see > https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/ContactingPeople > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~hybrid-graphics-linux > Post to : hybrid-graphics-linux@lists.launchpad.net > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~hybrid-graphics-linux > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~hybrid-graphics-linux Post to : hybrid-graphics-linux@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~hybrid-graphics-linux More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
