Hello all,
My bumblee laptop, an alienware 17 with an nvidia gtx 880m and with intel hd graphics worked very well. Last days I've been studying so not really gaming and yesterday I wanted to play a bit, but I couldn't activate my nvidia card anymore ... By running optirun glxgears in terminal to test this I get the error:
[ 160.584741] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) PreInit returned 2 for "<default pointer>"
Any help is welcome and just tell me what I have to post, I have no clue about what is wrong so I don't know where to look.
Thank you.
I also recently did a clean install to see it that could be an issue but got nothing out of it, still the same issue ...
