Re: Need to make sure I have the nvidia proprietary driver running.

OK, thats the driver for the Intel graphics chip. So you have an embedded Intel graphics in the motherboard *and* a plugged in NVIDIA Corporation GF108 card? Yes!

I installed the linux headers and the drivers using this command: aptitude -r install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') nvidia-kernel-dkms [I referred this wiki : https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers ] I also created the Xorg.conf file as mentioned in the wiki. But when I rebooted my system Xorg failed to start. So i figured that I am having a GPU with optimus support and I do not need the Xorg.conf file but instead I need the bumblebee package. So I installed the bumblebee package. Everything seem to work now except this: Under system-Nvidia server settings when I open It i get a message: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. But there was already a post in bumblebee wiki which said: Warning: If you choose to install bumblebee-nvidia and the dependent nvidia driver packages, during postinst, you will see a debconf prompt warning you that you need to create a xorg.conf file in order to use the proprietary nvidia driver. This prompt only applies to non-Optimus users, i.e. single Nvidia GPU systems. Do NOT allow debconf to create a xorg.conf file, and do NOT run nvidia-xconfig! (This prompt always appears when you install nvidia packages through the repositories, and it currently does not detect Optimus/bumblebee users. See 735049 for a brief explanation.) So I am pretty sure that I do not need to run that nvidia-xconfig command. But I just want to make sure that I am running the nvidia driver successfully. How can I do that? You're not alone. I have the same problem. I have a new laptop with the GeForce GT 750M video card. And yesterday I made several attempts to install the Nvidia driver, using packages from backports and the proprietary installer from Nvidia, it did not work. The NVIDA-setting application always indicated he was not running the nvidia driver. And besides the command: bumblebeed service restart Do not restart the program.

Re: Need to make sure I have the nvidia proprietary driver running.
First thing I did, when I built a new Desktop machine, and inserted my nVidia card in, was to disable the onboard GPU in the bios setup. That keeps it all nice and clean, with regards to video detection. No need to have two dissimilar GPU's contending for display rights. You just wind up with a mess you now have. Note: I have since installed a second identical nVidia card and now have four displays without a hitch. Ric Hi, But Asus bios doesn't seem to have a setting to disable bios. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
