So after googling, I decided to install xorg-x11-drv-nouveau,
xorg-x11-drv-fbdev,
xorg-x11-drv-vesa. I then rebooted and the only error I'm now getting in
the Xorg logs is: "Failed to open DRM device for (null): -2"

Not sure what  I need to do next...

I have some time to revisit this as I didn't get much further with the
installations last time.

I did a complete re-install of RHEL 7.5 following the instructions from
http://ezequielm.com/blog/rhelcentos-7-3-bumblebee-setup/

I also installed primus. I'm now getting the following errors in my
Xorg.log when I attempt to launch gnome/kde

Failed to load module "nouveau"
Failed to load module "fbdev"
Failed to load module "vesa"

Any ideas what I'm missing?

Thanks for all your help with this!

As you suspected, I did not have mesa-libGL installed. I installed this,
rebooted, and..I still can't get to an x windows session!!! The
last 3 messages I see during the startup before the machine hangs is:

[ok] Started gnome display manager
[ok] Started System Logging Service
[ok] Started Virtualization daemon

There are no x related errors in the Xorg.logs.

I'm not quite sure what to do now...

I finally got to try out the solution  posted. Unfortunately, it did not
work for me though. The error I now get is:

22.409] (II) LoadModule: "glx"
[22.409] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so

I'll try a few more things to see if I can muddle through

Nicolas,

Thank you for your explanations in such great details on how you got
bumblebee working. Phil is currently struggling for time but will be
responding with his thoughts soon.

John: that is the same issue I was having.
 From notes I took at the time:

nvidia-x11-drv includes the subdir:
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia

X.org should not be picking it up for the intel gpu given the bumblebee 
config, but for some reason it seems it tries to. This leads to a 
failure to start X.

I solved this by:
sudo mv /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia /usr/lib64/xorg
and editing /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf so that XorgModulePath (in the 
driver-nvidia section) points to the new /usr/lib64/xorg/nvidia/ instead 
of the old /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/ subdir.


I'm sure there's a more elegant solution, but this worked for me. It 
does require doing the move again each time there's an nvidia driver 
update...


Note that /var/log/Xorg.0.log should have stuff for your primary (intel) 
gpu, while /var/log/Xorg.8.log should have the nvidia stuff.

Over the week-end I took some more time to reinvestigate the issue, in 
case we actually want to fix it.


Note that I have set up bumblebee on two different laptops, both with an 
intel integrated GPU and a discrete nvidia GPU, both running Centos 7 
and installed similarly (nvidia and bumblebee from elrepo). One works 
fine with the default configuration, the other doesn't and results in 
the error that the OP ran into.
IOW the issue only occurs on some  systems... Maybe due to the order in 
which the 2 GPUs are found by the kernel or by X.org. I don't know.



On the broken laptop, with the default configuration, Xorg.0.log has:

(==) ModulePath set to "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"

(II) xfree86: Adding drm device (/dev/dri/card1)
(EE) /dev/dri/card1: failed to set DRM interface version 1.4: Permission

directory

(II) UnloadModule: "glx"
(II) Unloading glx
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed, 7)

Notice that ModulePath doesn't have 
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia , but X is still trying to 
load /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so . This fails 
because it doesn't find libnvidia-tls.so.390.59 , but even if it found 
it (eg if you symlink that lib somewhere) it wouldn't work, because at 
this point we want X to load the default 
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so .


There is also the error:
/dev/dri/card1: failed to set DRM interface version 1.4: Permission denied
I don't know what that means or what role it plays here. But in a 
working configuration (see below) I also get this error in Xorg.8.log, 
and it doesn't seem to cause any issues.



My kludgy solution to the issue is to move the nvidia libglx.so out of 
the way:

sudo mv /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia /usr/lib64/xorg
and tell bumblebee where it is now, by setting XorgModulePath in 
/etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf so it now has /usr/lib64/xorg/nvidia/ 
instead of /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/ .


The system then boots succesfully, glxspheres and "optirun glxspheres" 
work and use the correct GPUs, and Xorg.0.log now has the following 
instead of the previous lines:


(==) ModulePath set to "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"

(II) xfree86: Adding drm device (/dev/dri/card1)

As you can see, X is now loading 
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so , as it should.

We also don't have the "failed to set DRM interface".
Xorg.8.log shows:
(++) ModulePath set to 
"/usr/lib64/xorg/nvidia,/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers,/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"

I checked the directories and the missing shared object is actually in 
/usr/lib64/nvidia. However, I have configured my bumblebee.conf file 
exactly as specified in the bumblebee wiki which has the XorgModulePath 
specifying the directory path which fails above.


I don't think I should be attempting to change the directory path for 
XorgModulePath to point to /usr/lib64/nvidia since the bumblebee wiki 
does not say to do that.

I checked the directories and the missing shared object is actually in 
/usr/lib64/nvidia. However, I have configured my bumblebee.conf file 
exactly as specified in the bumblebee wiki which has the 
XorgModulePath specifying the directory path which fails above.


I don't think I should be attempting to change the directory path for 
XorgModulePath to point to /usr/lib64/nvidia since the bumblebee wiki 
does not say to do that.

I'm copying a message from Nicolas Thierry-Mieg below. Hope this helps
you figure out why things are not working.

"you might have some useful info in /var/log/Xorg.*

I had set up bumblebee on my son's laptop in the past and had to move
some things around, because [some reason, can't remember the details
but it was something like X not looking in the correct folders for the

Re: [elrepo] Dual boot rhel 7.5 - gui not starting

[John Adegbile]

So I scrutinized my Xorg.log file as suggested and found some lines showing
failures:

*[28.568] (EE) Failed to load
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so:
libnvidia-tls.so.390.59: cannot open shared object file: No such file or

*[28.710] (II) modeset(0): using drv /dev/dri/card1*
*[28.710] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbdev*

I checked the directories and the missing shared object is actually in
/usr/lib64/nvidia.
However, I have configured my bumblebee.conf file exactly as specified in
the bumblebee wiki which has the XorgModulePath specifying the directory
path which fails above.

I don't think I should be attempting to change the directory path for
XorgModulePath
to point to /usr/lib64/nvidia since the bumblebee wiki does not say to do
that.

Did you see any error message while installing the required packages?
No steps missed when configuring it?

Not using it myself, I cannot provide better support than referring
you to what has already been written. There is an instruction note
given by a CentOS user:

https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=49=61162=10#p266381

It's basically the same except the addition of the last step (10).

Thanks for the tip.

I installed and configured bumblebee (using primus as an alternative to

You seem to have two graphics devices, an integrated graphics (Intel)
and an Nvidia card. Can you disable the former in the BIOS? If this is
not possible, you need to make use of the Nvidia Optimus technology.

[elrepo] Dual boot rhel 7.5 - gui not starting

[John Adegbile]

Hello,

I am struggling a bit to get a GUI installation completed on my MSI GS63VR
laptop. It comes with windows 10 and I have dual booted with RHEL 7.5 . I
have completed the rhel installation and have installed the nvidia drivers
from elrepo.

I can't get the GUI to work though. Would someone kindly be able to give me
some pointers as to where I'm going wrong? I have enabled default
graphical.target via systemctl but the GUI does not launch. The error I get
when I attempt to run startx manually is:

*[  1740.462] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.*
*Fatal server error:*
*[  1740.462] (EE) no screens found(EE) *
*[  1740.463] (EE) *

*Output of lspci is:*
*00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 591b (rev 04)*
*01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP106M [GeForce GTX
1060 Mobile] (rev a1)*

*Output of nvidia-detect is*:
*Probing for supported NVIDIA devices...*
*[10de:1c20] NVIDIA Corporation GP106M [GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile]*
*This device requires the current 390.59 NVIDIA driver kmod-nvidia*
*[8086:591b] Intel Corporation Device 591b*


*RPMs installed:*
*nvidia-x11-drv-390.59-1.el7_5.elrepo.x86_64*
*yum-plugin-nvidia-1.0.2-1.el7.elrepo.noarch*
*kmod-nvidia-390.59-1.el7_5.elrepo.x86_64*
*nvidia-detect-390.59-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64*


*uname -a:*
*3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64*


Thanks in advance
