Re: Optimus Solution found!!!! Using my Nvidia card in my Alienware M11X R2!!!
Hi...
The nvidia kernel module doesn't seem to be loaded..
Try running "modprobe nvidia-current" and then restart the X-server...

Hi people,
I managed to use Martin solution with an external monitor. I followed the how to but I still cant run vglrun glxgears ([VGL] ERROR: Could not open display :0.1.) I tried solution CRT-0, DFP-0. nothing. Ill post my xorg.conf and my xorg.log. Thanks for all.

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.

Look my tests with libjpeg-turbo and turbojpeg-ipp:
1) libjpeg-turbo-1.1.0:
I got around 170fps without VGL_COMPRESS and around 130fps with VGL_COMPRESS=jpeg.
2) turbojpeg-ipp-1.11.1:
I got around 290fps without VGL_COMPRESS and around 350fps with VGL_COMPRESS=jpeg.
My hardware:
Asus Eeepc1215N,
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0a76 (rev a2)
NVIDIA ION2 Optimus.

It worked with Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0".
I attached my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log. I swaped screen 0 and 1 to use intel as first screen.
By the way, my netbook is a Acer EeePC 1215N.

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 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]

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?
