Hello dear helpers!!! i am trying to use prime render offload on acer-e5-575-g.
i have intel core i5-7200u and geforce 940mx.
i installed nvidia drivers 440, for linux xubuntu 18.04 lts
and i configured my xorg.conf so
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "layout"
Option "AllowNVIDIAGPUScreens"
Screen 0 "iGPU"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "iGPU"
Driver "modesetting"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "iGPU"
Device "iGPU"
EndSection
after that, i rebooted my notebook and tried to run command:
sudo __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxinfo | grep OpenGL
but i get an error
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 152 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext)
Value in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 39
Current serial number in output stream: 40
i tried to use this answer https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1068229/linux/problem-with-offloading-with-prime/
but, when i add this code
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg"
EndSection
and reboot system, i have black screen and startx got me an error about xorg can not be run in buffermode.
so i edit xorg with nano editor (deleted section files) and rebooted system
my system was load, but i haved again main error.
Please help me…
