nvidia proprietary driver 12.04

http://askubuntu.com – I have Ubuntu 12.10 an nvidia 540M graphic card with optimis technology. If I install the nvidia current package from Software Center (and bumblebee for optimus) when I run 'optirun glxspheres' i get 120-140 frames per second. If I install the nvidia current driver from 'Additional Drivers', and run 'optirun glxspheres' i get 170-190 fps, but glxspheres and all the games I play always start full screen. And this is a problem because some games mess up my desktop resolution and I have to relog to fix it every time I exit a game. So I can't use this driver:( Also if I uninstall the driv (HowTos)

optirun fails in Ubuntu 12.10 32 weeks 2 days ago

I am trying to use Nvidia Optimus on my laptop by using Bumblebee, I have an Intel Core i5 with an Nvidia Geforce GT 630M.

I have followed the instructions on the wiki page at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee, but when trying to run optirun with Firefox (or any other program, like glxspheres), I get the following error:

Hi,

I've been trying to get my graphic card working under ubuntu and opensuse but to no avail.

First, i tried through additional drivers, but after installation it keeps saying "this driver is activated but not currently in use". That is 3D-accelerated proprietary graphics driver for NVIDIA cards.

OK, I have a pretty specific Optimus/CUDA/drivers question: I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on an Acer Aspire 5750G.

I have installed ubuntu on my laptop, but i am having problems with the hdmi port. It doesnt seem to exist.

I have a nvidia gt 415m graphic card and a core i5 which would point at a problem with optimus technology, so i tried to install the new nvidia driver 319, which should help with this problem.

Nvidia Drivers and GPU 49 weeks 4 days ago

I've a laptop with an Nvidia optimus graphic card (GEForce GT 630m) with Ubuntu 12.04 installed. After a while of looking around, I found that the optimus controller for linus is bumblebee, so I installed it.

I would like to know whether is possible to perform GPU calculations using this driver, or Should I install the Nvidia driver?

first at all check lspci | grep -i vgaI have optimus and I see both cards, Intel and nVidia.What do you see?If you install xf86-video-intel instead of nvidia driver, does it work then?

Recently I bought notebook with NVIDIA Optimus technology, and i'm stuck in bumblebee installation.optirun -vv glxgears:[  175.078111] [DEBUG]Reading file: /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf [  175.078715] [INFO]Configured driver: nvidia [  175.257402] [DEBUG]optirun version 3.0.1 starting...
