Hello all, Quite bummed I didn't research nvidia support on this laptop before I purchased it. Nvidia worked fine on my old XPS m1730 so I thought it would work on this new XPS 17. oh well. So optirun seems to work quite well on this laptop as below. Is it possible for this optirun/bumblebee setup to work automatically without specifying optirun on the command line? eg: if I launch google chrome it will automatically support glx (like my old xps laptop)?
Cheers heaps! Dave opening http://webglsamples.googlecode.com/hg/aquarium/aquarium.html in chrome normally reported my computer did not support webgl however running chrome through optirun worked fine, here is a screenshot: http://dtbaker.com.au/webimages/optirun_1.png (63 fps with 1000 fish) dtbaker@Dellbuntu:~$ glxgears Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual (didn't open glxgears) dtbaker@Dellbuntu:~$ optirun glxgears 2822 frames in 5.0 seconds = 564.188 FPS 2731 frames in 5.0 seconds = 545.975 FPS Another bumblebee powered application is running, keeping bumblebee alive. dtbaker@Dellbuntu:~$ sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name Dell System XPS L702X dtbaker@Dellbuntu:~$ sudo dmidecode -s system-version Not Specified dtbaker@Dellbuntu:~$ lspci -vnnn | perl -lne 'print if /^\d+\:.+(\[\S+\:\S+\])/' | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0126] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation Device [10de:0dcd] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
