  • Issues with nVidia optimus

    From =?UTF-8?Q?C=c3=a9sar_Tapia?=@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 3 16:40:02 2020
    Hello everybody,

    After read and put on practice many tutorials on the web, i can't
    install nVidia driver for GeForce GT-540 video card.
    It is on toshiba p750 laptop, running Debian Buster.

    I tried to install with nvidia-detect and its instructions... doesn't work.
    I tried with the official driver downloaded from nvidia website and ...
    doesn't work.

    I have this error:"Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/nvidia/gv100/acr/ucode_load.bin for module nouveau" also.

    I don't have installed utilities for nVidia Optimus.


    Please i need your help, i want still using Debian buster.
    Thank you all.

    First I installed "nvidia-detect" and it returns that I have to install
    the package "nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver".

    Then I run "apt-get install nvidia-alternative
    nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver", after that I rebooted the laptop.

    I run "update-glx --config nvidia", everything ok.

    The problem now is when I try to use "NVIDIA X Server Settings" the
    program show me a dialog box containing "You do not appear to be using
    the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit yout X configuration file (just run 'nvidia-xconfig' as root), and restart the X server"

    I had some bad experiences with 'nvidia-xconfig', after that probably
    next boot time it will show a blank screen.


    Thanks for your attention.

    I usually do Xorg -configure, which generates the config file (if there is
    no such under /etc/X11/

    Then change the driver there if not selected and try the file Xorg -config (copy to /etc/X11/ if it looks good and restart the server)

    When I run "Xorg -configure" it returns:

    Fatal server error:
    Server is already active for display 0
    If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
    and start again.

    I was looking for "xorg.conf" in "/etc/X11" and realize that there is
    not present, so i tried this solution:

    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_xorg.conf

    Then I modified on /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

    Section "Device"
            ### Available Driver options are:-
            ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
            ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz",
            ### <percent>: "<f>%"
            ### [arg]: arg optional
            #Option     "SWcursor"                  # [<bool>]
            #Option     "HWcursor"                  # [<bool>]
            #Option     "NoAccel"                   # [<bool>]
            #Option     "ShadowFB"                  # [<bool>]
            #Option     "VideoKey"                  # <i>
            #Option     "WrappedFB"                 # [<bool>]
            #Option     "GLXVBlank"                 # [<bool>]
            #Option     "ZaphodHeads"               # <str>
            #Option     "PageFlip"                  # [<bool>]
            #Option     "SwapLimit"                 # <i>
            #Option     "AsyncUTSDFS"               # [<bool>]
            #Option     "AccelMethod"               # <str>
            #Option     "DRI"                       # <i>
            Identifier  "Card1"
            Driver      "nvidia" =======================> it was "nouveau"
            BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
    EndSection

    nVidia Driver still doesn't working.

    Hello César,

    Try it then you can see, perhaps you have luck and you can use your
    computer.
    I didn't have had this problem, so I don't know farther.
    Perhaps someone else.
    Gérard.
