You don't even need bios to support turning off the nvidia card.. im using a Asus N53SV-XR1 it has a nvidia optimus GT540M.. KMS works for the intel video card. so long as you dont use packages... you have to compile xorg with a few settings in your /etc/make.conf as well as use the xorg intel driver, the vesa driver doesn't work and will hard lock your system. these settings go in /etc/make.conf WITH_NEW_XORG=YES WITH_KMS=YES here is my xorg.conf cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Not X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Synaptics_Touchpad" "AlwaysCore" EndSection Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/OTF" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/bitstream-vera/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Droid/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Liberation/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/terminus-font/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/LinLibertineG/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/anonymous-pro/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/GentiumBasic/" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dri" Load "freetype" Load "extmod" Load "glx" Load "type1" Load "synaptics" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics_Touchpad" Driver "Synaptics" Option "UseShm" "true" Option "SHMConfig" "on" Option "Protocol" "psm" Option "Device" "/dev/psm0" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" Option "FingerLow" "26" Option "FingerHigh" "51" Option "FingerPress" "254" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "1" Option "MinSpeed" "0.10" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.20" Option "RTCornerButton" "2" Option "RBCornerButton" "3" Option "TapButton2" "2" Option "TapButton3" "3" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "intel" VendorName "Intel Corporation" BoardName "Intel nVidia Thingy" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Modes "1366x768" Virtual 1366 768 EndSubSection EndSection Sam Fourman Jr. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
