Hello all,
on two machines the current nvdia optimus solution working for me.
Except the MultiMonitor setup.
Wenn I start the XServer without ‘Option “UseDisplayDevice” “none”’ the Virtual Screen Size of the XServer set to the size of the Monitor which connected directly to the Nvidia GPU.
Start of the Laptop Screen output with
‘xrandr --setprovideroutputsource Intel NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto’
working but I’m not able to move the Mouse cursor to the Laptop screen because of the wrong virtual screen size.
xrandr self recognize the Laptop screen correct.
So, at the moment I don’t now if its a failure or the XServer, Nvidia 319.17 driver or Compiz.
Perhaps someone know where could be the problem or know a solution.
You should be able to resize the framebuffer with xrandr’s --fb option. It should also do that for you if you reconfigure the screen using xrandr instead of nvidia-settings.
It seems that the increase work but only for the Nvidia GPU conneted displays.
When I configure my Laptop screen on the left I have the same situation as in my first post.
Wenn I put it to right then it seems the desktop is in panning mode.
The whole setup work only if I configure it with nvidia-settings by increase the offset of my second external display (+3280+0) and put my Laptop Screen with xrandr between the free space.
I have the exactly the same symptoms using 319.23 driver.
Alienware M11XR3 with Intel i810 and Nvidia GT540M
Up-to-date Kubuntu.
xrandr 1.4.0 program compiled from source. X.Org X Server 1.13.4 from xorg-edgers PPA.
Nvidia Driver 319.23 installed vi sgfxi script.
Kernel 3.9.0 from Ubunto repository.
KDE 4.10.3
External display on DisplayPort to right of laptop display.
I could only get offloading to work using the intel driver rather than the modesettings driver suggested in the release notes. Everything works fine except the mouse being unable to pass the left side of the external display onto the builtin display. However, when moving a window the window moves to the builtin display until the mouse cursor hits the left side of the external monitor.
Setting framebuffer using --fb to the width of both screens does not work.
I have full output of nvidia-bug-report.sh but can’t see how to attach it here.
Excited by how close this is to working now!
UPDATE:
I reinstalled some packages and I can now get offloading working with the modesettings driver and my xorg.conf is now exactly as per the release notes.
I’ve also tested this using E17 Window manager and got the same symptoms as KDE.
