Nvidia (310.32) - GT635M - EDID and black screen
 
Hello all :)

My first post here, I've looked everywhere already and cannot solve my problem myself, so writing here. I have Asus R500VJ with Intel graphics and Nvidia GT635M and cannot get Nvidia drivers to work. I had EDID issue (driver couldn't get EDID info), solved it with custom EDID, everything seems OK in Xorg logs but there's still black screen. Maybe the problem is I have two graphic cards? In Xorg logs I see * before PCI:0:2:0, which is Intel card, and line below contains PCI:1:0:0 - Nvidia. If it is the source of the problem - how to disable Intel card? I've tried to disable autoadd devices and autoenable devices in X. I had many computers with very different configurations, few times had problem with Nvidia drivers (-.-), but always can solve it with X configuration, some file movements, etc.

Had anybody similar problems or know a solution already?

For using the Optimus technology from Nvidia you have to use Bumblebee: http://bumblebee-project.org/

Bumblebee solved my problem, thanks, TobiSGD.
