Output of lspcidrake -v.txt

Hi Manuel, thank you for helping me. i've attacched it

Already fixed in ldetect-lst in cauldron
But I'm not sure it worth backport it since mga1's nvidia driver is older and maybe doesn't support your card as hinted by your test (but maybe intel's KMS goes in the way).

Marcello, your laptop has both intel and nvidia cards, and the proprietary driver doesn't (if I remember correctly) support having them both enabled like you currently have.

If you want to use the NVIDIA card only, you can try to look in BIOS setup if you can disable the intel card from there.

Also, the NVIDIA driver of MGA1 doesn't support your card anyway.

If you can disable the intel card from BIOS setup, you can use the script at http://onse.fi/nvidia-mgabuild/ to generate rpms of a newer version of the NVIDIA proprietary version that work with your card.

If there is no such option, this is probably a so-called "Optimus" configuration where the outputs are wired to the Intel card and the NVIDIA card only acts as an accelerator, in which case even the newer NVIDIA driver version doesn't work (AFAIK). There is a 3rdparty project ("bumblebee") that enables it to work, but I haven't looked into it and it would probably mess up our opengl libs / x server modules if you install it manually.

Its about NVIDIA Optimus technology.

Please ad this, its working in opensuse etc.

thank you all.... can we add this technology support to Mageia 2 and (if possible) to Mageia 1? it would be great

It is possibly possible, but it would be quite a lot work as the bumblebee/ironhide projects work on quite a low level and seem to be designed as hacks on top of distribution proprietary driver packages, which makes proper integration harder (but not impossible).

Don't get your hopes up, especially since working on this would probably require having such a laptop to be able to test it...

Note that AFAIK bumblebee/ironhide is not supported properly out-of-the-box on any distribution (i.e. it always requires manual installation).

I just wanna use my Nvidia card.  It worked out of the box in opensuse. Mageia wanna use Intel.

Jan, that sounds like it is not Optimus laptop then.

Does OpenSUSE use nouveau or the proprietary driver for you?
What happens when you try to select the same driver on Mageia?

nouveau works.
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3499

AFAIK, Asus N73 uses nvidia's Optimus technology

Google indeed suggests that N73 uses Optimus, but either that information is wrong or it means some different Optimus than I talked about in this bug, since nouveau and the proprietary driver don't work with Optimus at all (without hacks like starting two X servers and transferring the rendered picture between them, like bumblebee/ironhide does).

Oh well, maybe i remember wrong. I dont wanna reinstall opensuse just to test this :D

Jan-Olof, in bug #3499 you said that nouveau doesn't work on Mageia.

If that is the case, please provide /var/log/Xorg.0.log, /etc/X11/xorg.conf and the output of dmesg (use 'dmesg > dmesg.txt' command to put the output into a text file) when it fails to start.

Noveau worked in opensuse, thats what i ment. Mageia just uses intel card.

Yes, that's how I understood it. In comment #15 I meant that please try nouveau on Mageia and then provide the files requested, so that the issue can be investigated.

Ah, nouveau kernel module of Mageia 1 doesn't support your card properly.

What is the Xorg.0.log output and dmesg when you try to use the proprietary driver instead, on Mageia?

proprietary_dmesg

Your 'dmesg' doesn't show the proprietary driver loading, can you confirm that
  update-alternatives --display gl_conf
shows the nvidia-current being enabled?

If not, use
  update-alternatives --config gl_conf
then select nvidia-current, then run:
  ldconfig -X

If it is already enabled, are you you maybe using /var/log/dmesg? It only shows messages of early boot, and the NVIDIA module is only loaded after that.

Could you be more spesific? Im on intel now in kde desktop, if i insert that command, i get this


[root@localhost osku]# update-alternatives --display gl_conf

"If it is already enabled, are you you maybe using /var/log/dmesg?"

I dont know, give me more details.

No need, I now noticed that the proprietary driver of mga1 just doesn't support your card either.

If you want to try a newer version of the driver, you can download the latest driver from NVIDIA and use http://onse.fi/nvidia-mgabuild/ to make Mageia rpms out of it.

Thanks i try that, but if system doesnt detect nvidia, how could it work...

I don't understand your question.
A few comments ago you provided X logs with the proprietary driver, just do it the same way but this time with the new version generated by the above script installed.

Allmost there. When booting, after it loads drivers, i get blank screen but i heard KDE login sounds :D

I got an Asus N75 with this Optimus techno (Intel i915 + NVidia GT555m)

Mageia 1 does not see the NVidia at all.
Mageia 2 beta 3 detects it (XFdrake at least), but cannot set up a proper xorg.conf that can use it and I'm stuck using the Intel without 3D capabilities.

I'll have a closer look to the Bumblebee/inronhide stuff.
Mageia 2 beta 3 already provides the latest NVidia drivers (295).

If I got any progress, I'll let it know here.
If you have tests you want me to do, just ask.

Cheers.

This message is a reminder that Mageia 1 is nearing its end of life. 
In approximately 25 days from now, Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing 
updates for Mageia 1. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it 
remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '1'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version prior to Mageia 1's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not 
be able to fix it before Mageia 1 is end of life.  If you would still like to see 
this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, 
you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version 
of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
