Intel/nVidia troubles for Razer Blade 14

Linoman · 2014-02-03 12:30:51

Hi, I've been trying to setup the switchable graphics for the Razer Blade 14 (nVidia 765M) but no luck. I've been reading several posts but still no dice.

I'm using nvidia, bbswitch, linux-ck and bumblebee.

nvidia-config was saved at /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf and changed

Section "Device"
    Identifier "nvidiagpu1"
    Driver "nvidia"
    BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

bumblebee.conf I set Driver=nvidia and Bridge=virtualgl and I set BusID to 01:00:00. It shows (rev ff) before optirun and rev (a1) after running optirun.

[linoman@Avon ~]lspci | grep 3Dg 
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK106M [GeForce GTX 765M] (rev ff)

Attempting to run optirun I get

[linoman@Avon ~]$ optirun -vv subl

So I've tried to use linux-ck and running mkinitcpio, I get 6 images too boot (I don't think I have to try fallback menu entries, correct me if I'm wrong) I've tried each one changing rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay={1-4}

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17216441 Feb  3 10:20 initramfs-linux-ck-fallback.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  3598869 Feb  3 10:20 initramfs-linux-ck.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17222780 Feb  3 11:45 initramfs-linux-fallback.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  3605224 Feb  3 11:45 initramfs-linux.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  3867632 Jan 31 09:24 vmlinuz-linux
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  3796176 Feb  3 10:17 vmlinuz-linux-ck

Grub menu entries and results
vmlinuz-linux & initramfs-linux.img: loads bumblebee but I get the same error mentioned before in xorg.8.log

vmlinuz-linux-ck: gives kernel panic

vmlinuz-linux-ck & initramfs-linux.img: doesn't load bumblbee, gives

[linoman@Avon ~]$ systemctl status bumblebeed

Feb 03 13:13:20 Avon systemd[1]: Unit bumblebeed.service entered failed state.

Finally I've tried this with the same results.

Am I missing something? I'm out of ideas/posts/research. Any help help is appreciated. Forgive me if I'm missing something to post, it's a lot of info. First time setting up nVidia stuf.

Don't mean to bump but perhaps I'm on the wrong subforum? Should I copy this on newbie corner?
