Laptop has hybrid graphics card system, both Nvidia and Intel. When I run the samples of host-linux build; most of them give error:
WindowGLFW: Failed create window
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

the sample_hello_world runs ok without core dump, it gives message:

if i set
sudo prime-select nvidia
it will cause the login black screen. i have to set the PRIME to Intel during boot to get into X env.

Please help…thanks.

Hi Jim,

Did you ever resolve this?

Hi I have the same problem. Does anyone solve this?

After another year, on my fresh Ubuntu 1604, I face the same problem with cuda 9.2, with nvidia-396 on a GTX 970, so, if no one comes up with a possible solution, I have to spend propably another couples of hours to fix this $!x# issue

Dear @hermann.f,
Could you check running DW samples on host with minimum PASCAL based GPU architecture. GTX 970 is based on Maxwell. Please check the System requirements for the development workstation section → Hardware in NVIDIA DRIVE Downloads | NVIDIA Developer

Dear @SivaRamaKrishnaNV,
the info about HW requirements seems different to

which allows Maxwell
Recommended Host SystemPC (x86 architecture) with a NVIDIA GPU (NVIDIA Maxwell™ based GPU minimum, NVIDIA Pascal™ based GPU)
and the examples run now, after installing all deps listed in the installed docs
file:///home/ndw/driveworks/doc/nvdwx_html/dwx_devguide_getting_started.html

Main problem seems to be that info is fragmented into installed vs online documentation, which makes getting all necessary docs more difficult.

Dear @hermann.f,
Could you confirm if you are able to run drivenet sample too?

Yes, drivenet runs on the Maxwell based host.
