Finally I got it solved by follow Salvatore's suggestion. I am using the bumblebee project. there are still some other minor problems solved before success running bumblebee. The vgl init script doesn't work on xdm. the xauth section should have a update. the start function of /etc/init.d/vgl was updated. paste here for anyone may need it. start() { ebegin "Starting VirtualGL" truncate --size=0 /etc/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key # Check if XAUTHORITY was set successfully, if not wait a bit and let X to start [ -z "$XAUTHORITY" ] && sleep 3 && set_xauth [ -e "$XAUTHORITY" ] || sleep 3 for i in `xauth -f $XAUTHORITY list | awk '{print $3}'`; do xauth -f /etc/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key add $DISPLAY . $i && \ chmod 644 /etc/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key done eend $? } and i915(and its modsetting ) is required for my intel onboard card, but we have to disable all framebuffer driver options before going that. else the screen will get blank during boot stage. -- Dreaming my dream!
