Dear meintainers,
I ŕan into an issue with optimus and an nvidia card. Fist the hardware:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (re
v 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119M [Quadro NVS 4200M] (rev ff)
I have two graphics cards, and the nvidia card is NVS 4200Ḿ.
Please note, that the package nvidia-settings and the description of the package "nvidia-legacy-*-390xx" is telling, that these are the drivers for this graphic chip.
But these are NOT!
After hours of testing with buḿblee and then examine the NVidia site, I disćovered, that the correct driver for thius chip is *-340xx NOT *-390xx.
Installing this version, everything is working perfectly.
And to confirm: Also the NVIDIA website is telling, for
chipset GF119 == NVS4200, thew correct driver is 340xx.
Just before other people step into this trap, maybe you might want to correct the description.
Thanks for reading this, hope, I could help.
Best regards
Hans
