Hello,
I have a laptop with integrated Intel i915 and nouveau, where the
external monitor is connected via HDMI.
Setup works and I have arranged the screens side-by-side. Xorg is using modesetting driver (no xorg.conf).
I want to try GPU offloading and installed bumblebee and primus packages.
Bumblebee blacklisted nouveau and the external screen was not detected
anymore.
Thats the first issue: can I still use the external monitor even though
I have bumblebee running?
I tried the following command to see if offloading works:
chris@laptop:~$ primusrun glxgears -info
primus: fatal: Bumblebee daemon reported: error: [XORG] (EE) Unable to locate/open config directory: "/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.d"
That folder exists and has been created during bumblebee installation:
chris@laptop:~$ ll /etc/bumblebee/
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3293 Nov 14 00:04 bumblebee.conf
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 14 00:04 xorg.conf.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 513 Nov 14 00:04 xorg.conf.nouveau
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1410 Nov 14 00:04 xorg.conf.nvidia
What is the issue here? Permissions?
Thats the second issue.
When `primusrun glxgears` was executed, the external screen became
active and the desktop expanded to it, although not according to my
display setup on Cinnamon.
Bumblebee loaded nouveau, thats why I think.
I did not touch files in /etc/bumblebee, they look ok to me.
What can I do to still use the external monitor as the main display, and
get GPU offloading to work as well?
BR, Chris
