Re: Optimus Solution found!!!! Using my Nvidia card in my Alienware M11X R2!!!
If that doesn't work...
You can try:
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT"
or
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "none"
instead...

Hi Santos and Peter..
I think you guys have the same problem..
Could you try the following:
Add:
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0"
to your nvidia device:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device1"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "IgnoreEDID"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0"
#Screen 0
EndSection
Santos: You might need to change your BusID as well to BusID "PCI:1:0:0"...
Please report back...

Hi all,
After some tests ( i'm quite a nob), I have the same message
reports: [VGL] ERROR: Could not open display :0.1.
But I think PCI buses are correctly matched in the Xorg file.....
I tried to launch vglrun glxgears
CU,

Hi Luis,
I've checked:
lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 18)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310M]
(rev a2)
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep PCI
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device1"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "IgnoreEDID"
#Screen 0
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "intel"
VendorName "onboard"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
#Screen 1
EndSection
I even stopped the display manager and reconfigured vgl_config, then rebooted.
Should work in my opinion. Am I missing something?
