Debian Wheezy, laptop, Nvidia Driver installation, GeForce GT 540M


Hello.

Code:
uname -a
Linux Inspiron 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.39-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Code:
lspci| grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 540M] (rev a1)
So i have two video cards in my laptop.

Source of my knowledge:
http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers/#Use_DKMS

This is what I did:
Code:
su #to be root
apt-get install linux-headers-3.2.0-4-amd64 #header files
apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms #driver itself
apt-get install nvidia-xconfig #generate xorg.conf
nvidia-xconfig
cd /etc/X11
nano xorg.conf
After editing:
Code:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig:  version 304.48  (pbuilder@cake)  Wed Sep 12 10:54:51 UTC 2012

Then reboot. Then no X. Only a "terminal". Logged in as root. Renamed xorg.conf. Here is the /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

You have a system with Nvidia-Optimus. You need Bumblebee installed.

The project -->http://bumblebee-project.org/

A link to the install instructions. -->https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee#Installation

There are lots of posts on this topic. Its not the cleanest code, there are more than enough problems. I don't have one of these laptops, so all I can do is point you in the right direction.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have a system with nvidia-optimus? What does it mean? If I have two or more graphic cards I can only use optimus? No other way?

What I wanted to do is to use nvidia itself. I saw a lot of youtube videos where nvidia x server settings work. Mine says:

Code:
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
I will read about nvidia-optimus. Thanks for the links.

"Many recent notebooks with a discrete nVidia card in it and an i3/i5/i7 processor use the nVidia Optimus technology to improve battery life. Unfortunately, this software solution is only available in Windows 7 and later."


From: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki

Ohh I see what you meant.

Then Bumblebee it is

PS:

http://www.howtogeek.com/124685/how-...work-on-linux/ :
"NVIDIA will ideally bring official support that works out-of-the-box for everyone in the future, but Bumblebee is the best we can do for now."
According to the image name on that webpage (http://cdn.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...9/image158.png) Nvidia works on it since 2012/09 XD Still nothing .... just Bumblebee
