Hello,
I’m using archlinux on a clevo W350T Laptop, with a Geforce 660M.
Since kernel 3.13 I have troubles running programs using the nvidia card with optimus/bumblebee. Everything on my machine is up to date and it used to work before the kernel/driver update. I’m now using the last released driver (334.21).
I try the following in a terminal, and I get an error.
$ optirun glxgears
[ 143.680] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0. Please
[ 143.680] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
The Xorg.conf has the following concerning the nvidia card :
[ 143.680] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0. Please
[ 143.680] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): check your system's kernel log for additional error

and here what I found in dmesg :

It looks like other people have this issue, unsolved, still I have not found any traces of that issue on that forum so I am reporting this.
I though at first it was related to the vbios problem debated here or here but the dmesg is not mentionning it.
Any idea ?
Best,
Paul
