It does not even 'blink' when Xorg starts. If I disable modesetting altogether (kernel command-line arg nomodeset) the corruption is gone, but the intel xorg driver refuses to work. I think I read somewhere that on later versions (which I must use, having a Sandybrdige graphics hardware), kernel-mode-setting is a requirement for it to work. Again, this is a Dell Latitude E6420.

Re: [Hybrid-graphics-linux] computer freezes when I plug USB devices with Nvidia card off
well, updated to kernel 2.6.38.8-32 in Fedora and things seem to work no problem again.

I don't know if this started happening specifically after a kernel update or if I simply didn't use to plug in anything after turning it on before.

Re: [Hybrid-graphics-linux] Dell Latitude E6420 - getting nvidia to work with Optimus enabled
Try not to use the enable/disable scripts of bumblebee. There is one to switch the card off on startup. Probably is messing around with the output and module loading. -- Joaquín Ignacio Aramendía samsa...@gmail.com El vie, 17-06-2011 a las 13:28 +0300, Moshe Nissim escribió: On 14/6/11 4:20 PM, Albert Vilella wrote: Right now there is no way of ignoring the intel graphics driver other than directly from the BIOS, and only in certain models, but with the optimus bumblebee you *are* using nvidia hardware *and* nvidia drivers for all the applications you call with optirun.

I holding up fine :D... I think the funniest thing is that the bug was commited in the end of may, and not more than a handful of people were actually affected :D.. But still.. Bad attention is better than no attention... and in this case actually better that good attention too... got 200.000 visits in 24 hours.. how crazy is that :D...

[Hybrid-graphics-linux] AMD PowerXpress 4.0 BACON. Optimus for Radeon. No known switch method on Linux.
Here comes a new challenger! http://www.rage3d.com/articles/amd_powerxpress4_asif_rehman_interview/ http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-PowerXPress-4-0-aka-BACON-vs-Nvidia-Optimus.55204.0.html Same deal as Optimus: A GPU wired through an IGP. No mux. First laptops featuring this seem to be the Dell Vostro 3550 (6630M) the HP dv6/dv7 (6490M?/6770M). The BACON driver situation for Sandy+Radeon on Windows is currently being documented and there have been some switching problems for the HP laptops. On the AMD+Radeon side of things, almost nothing is known about BACON. An upcoming Llano laptop (1 of 11) from HP is apparently going to be a beast. A 6750M+6520G Hybrid Crossfire and dynamically switching laptop. Current fglrx support for PowerXpress, radeon, or vga_switcheroo are said not to work in enabling the discrete GPU for any meaningful use. Given this, there will be a need for data collection tools and possibly new scripts (call it BaconBits or extend Bumblebee). - Eric ___ 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
