NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M : Failed to initiate mode change

Let me state first a few things. I RTFM. I first went down the path of installing NVidia/Intel Optimus setup with bumble bee, and wasn't getting anywhere, reading the manual step by step.

Now, I am asking for help. I have run into many errors, so I decided to dial it back, and simply get the NVIDIA prop drivers working, ignoring the intel card for the time being. So, to begin with, I am running this command, with an error.

glxgears
Error: couldn't open display (null)

Let me first show you the lspci output.

Here is my xorg.conf, which I generated using nvidia-settings, and adding the BusID of my card (from lspci).

Re: NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M : Failed to initiate mode change

What is in your ~/.xinitrc, and how are you starting X?  According to the logs it looks like everything worked, but you didn't specify anything for the x server to do.

Re: NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M : Failed to initiate mode change

Here is my ~/.xinitrc. It is empty now, but I have been trying exec cinnamon-session with errors.

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
  done
  unset f
fi

# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
# exec cinnamon-session

After adding back the exec-cinnamon-sesssion, my display freezes, I can't switch tty, and here is my log.

I just noticed I have the xrandr there, left over from my attempts at the optimus setup. Let me remove that, and get a new xorg log.

UPDATE: I just removed the xrandr, with the same result.

Re: NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M : Failed to initiate mode change

In the log, I see this.

[    53.528] (--) PCI:*(0:0:2:0) 8086:0a16:17aa:3800 rev 9, Mem @ 0xb5000000/4194304, 0xc0000000/268435456, I/O @ 0x00006000/64
[    53.528] (--) PCI: (0:9:0:0) 10de:1290:17aa:3800 rev 161, Mem @ 0xb3000000/16777216, 0xa0000000/268435456, 0xb0000000/33554432, I/O @ 0x00003000/128

What does the asterisk (*) represent next to "PCI"? I notice the asterisk is on my intel card, not the nvidia. Does this matter? Just curious.

Re: NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M : Failed to initiate mode change

Using nvidia only on optimus setups requires special configuration for xorg https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Op … ing_nvidia
From what I read in your logs it looks as xorg is looking for a monitor connected to the nvidia device which is not the case for optimus laptops as the outputs usually are wired to the intel device.


I put at button on it. Yes. I wish to press it, but I'm not sure what will happen if I do.  (Gune | Titan A.E.)

Re: NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M : Failed to initiate mode change

Ok, so after starting over with xorg.conf. here is what I did.

I regenerated the configuration using "Xorg -configure"
I removed the foreach executing of the .conf files from the xorg.conf.d directory, because it had &'s, and the manual said there shouldn't be, or you will have problems running xrandr in the ~/.xinitrc.
I followed the suggestions at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=166854, adding Option "UseDisplayDevice" "none"
I updated the ServerLayout to make "intel" Inactive (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Op … ing_nvidia).
I changed the driver for intel to use "modesetting".

And it work!

Here is my end result conf.

~/.xinit

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto

# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
exec cinnamon-session

And here is my xorg.conf

Also, just in case someone cares in the future, this was for a Lenovo IdeaPad U630 Touch
