Hello list,
I have a laptop with gt 630M 2GB graphics card. I installed the linux
headers and the drivers using this command:
aptitude -r install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,')
nvidia-kernel-dkms
[I referred this wiki : https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers ]
I also created the Xorg.conf file as mentioned in the wiki. But when I
rebooted my system Xorg failed to start. So i figured that I am having
a GPU with optimus support and I do not need the Xorg.conf file but
instead I need the bumblebee package.
So I installed the bumblebee package.
Everything seem to work now except this:
Under system->Nvidia server settings when I open It i get a message:
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X
configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart
the X server.
But there was already a post in bumblebee wiki which said:
"Warning: If you choose to install bumblebee-nvidia and the dependent
nvidia driver packages, during postinst, you will see a debconf prompt
warning you that you need to create a xorg.conf file in order to use
the proprietary nvidia driver. This prompt only applies to non-Optimus
users, i.e. single Nvidia GPU systems. Do NOT allow debconf to create
a xorg.conf file, and do NOT run nvidia-xconfig! (This prompt always
appears when you install nvidia packages through the repositories, and
it currently does not detect Optimus/bumblebee users. See 735049 for a
brief explanation.) "
So I am pretty sure that I do not need to run that nvidia-xconfig command.
But I just want to make sure that I am running the nvidia driver
successfully. How can I do that?
You're not alone.
I have the same problem.
I have a new laptop with the "GeForce GT 750M" video card.
And yesterday I made several attempts to install the Nvidia driver,
using packages from backports and the proprietary installer from Nvidia,
it did not work.
The NVIDA-setting application always indicated he was not running the
nvidia driver.
And besides the command:
bumblebeed service restart
Do not restart the program.
If you find a solution, please share with the list.
Greetings
Markos
