Try building Gem with/without optirun on your machine and check the config status. In the first build directory, do ./configure make In a 2nd directory, do optirun ./configure optirun make You should see differences in the config.log and check for differences in libraries linked Chuck ___ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

I think on my old laptop I needed the 340xx legacy version (EOL), I can check later but I think I installed nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver meta-package that pulled in the dkms package as a dependency, among other things. or with some install script downloaded from nvidia's webpage? I prefer the Debian way. But whatever you do, mixing them is a recipe for pain, so purge one completely before trying the other.

[PD] [semi-OT] binary nvidia drivers on Debian Linux for Gem
Hi list, oliver and me have been struggling to get nvidia binary drivers to work on his Debian stable laptop. Their intended use is with Gem, hence I would like to know if in 2020 the preferred way to install them is with Debians nvidia-legacy-390xx-kernel-dkms package or with some install script downloaded from nvidia's webpage? Furthermore, if the laptop has two graphics cards, one intel and one nvidia, which I understand is called Optimus™ by Nvidia, there seems to be the bumblebee project to use this under Linux (with one free implementation in bumblebee and one non-free in bumblebee-nvidia packages). This package also provides the optirun binary which apparently can be used to start specific programs with one of the two cards explicitely? thanks for any pointers, I hope this info is valuable to others as well. cheers, P ___ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
