[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1667198] Re: gpu-manager should also support using custom xorg.conf files for Nvidia
@Alberto: would you be open to adding it again? I need to enable TearFree and select the Intel driver when using my integrated GPU (but if I have `Driver "intel"` in my config when using the Nvidia GPU, I get a black screen on login), so it would be nice to have a way to automatically put a file in xorg.conf.d when switching the GPU. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-drivers-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1667198 Title: gpu-manager should also support using custom xorg.conf files for Nvidia Status in HWE Next: Fix Released Status in OEM Priority Project: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Zesty: Fix Released Bug description: SRU Request: [Impact] Different GPUs may require different options in the xorg.conf file.

Hello Alex, or anyone else affected, Accepted ubuntu-drivers-common into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /ubuntu-drivers-common/1:0.4.17.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .
