NVIDIA GeForce problem
Hello,
I am trying to get my NVIDIA video hardware to work properly with X. I am running Debian Testing, which I just installed a few days ago. I installed nvidia-detect using apt. I then installed Bumblebee using the instructions at
https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee#Installation. I added my login user to the bumblebee grouop. However, attempting '$ optirun xorg -info' gives the following error:
[15211.548537] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: priv: HUB0: 10ecc0 ffffffff (1d40822c)
[15211.140632] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) No devices detected.
I then attempted to manually define the BusID using according to the instructions at the above link by changing the /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia file to read as follows:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
Option "AutoAddGPU" "false"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "DiscreteNvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:01:00.0"
# If the X server does not automatically detect your VGA device,
# you can manually set it here.
# To get the BusID prop, run `lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'` and input the data
# as you see in the commented example.
# This Setting may be needed in some platforms with more than one
# nvidia card, which may confuse the proprietary driver (e.g.,
# trying to take ownership of the wrong device). Also needed on Ubuntu 13.04.
# BusID "PCI:01:00:0"
# Setting ProbeAllGpus to false prevents the new proprietary driver
# instance spawned to try to control the integrated graphics card,
# which is already being managed outside bumblebee.
# This option doesn't hurt and it is required on platforms running
# more than one nvidia graphics card with the proprietary driver.
# (E.g. Macbook Pro pre-2010 with nVidia 9400M + 9600M GT).
# If this option is not set, the new Xorg may blacken the screen and
# render it unusable (unless you have some way to run killall Xorg).
Option "ProbeAllGpus" "false"
Option "NoLogo" "true"
Option "UseEDID" "false"
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "none"
EndSection
I used 01:00.0 as the BusID because the output of # lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D' is:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 191b (rev 06)
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107M [GeForce GTX 960M] (rev a2)
This shows that the hardware exists. However, it is not being detected when I issue the following:
# nvidia-detect
No NVIDIA GPU detected.
# lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 191b (rev 06)
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Levi
