Re: Optimus Solution found!!!! Using my Nvidia card in my Alienware M11X R2!!!
Hi Martin and other Optimus people,
First, a big thank you to Martin for this solution. I have my external
Samsung monitor working with nvidia proprietry drivers on Ubuntu 11.04 with
gnome and compiz 3d effects working using this solution, however, I am
unable to get any display on my laptop LVDS. I have tried hacking around
with various xorg configs but can't get any output on the laptop screen.
Does anyone have dual screen working? If so, what is your xorg config?
For the record I have the following hardware:
Dell XPS L502X with:
a) 2nd generation Intel® Core? i5-2410M processor 2.30 GHz with Turbo Boost
2.0 up to 2.90 GHz PCI:0:2:0
b) 2GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M graphics with Optimus PCI:1:0:0
Thanks everyone for your efforts so far. As someone else said, we all owe
Martin a beer.
Cheers,
Dave.
