Sony VAIO Intel/Nvidia Bumblebee/Xorg issue

Hi, friends!
First of all, I'm sorry for my English and another one topics related to Intel/Nvidia Bumblebee/Xorg issue.
I read a lot of topics but can't manage with it
I don't want to give up. So I hope you can help me.

What I have and what I have done already:

1. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d is empty

[zhksteal@ZhKSteaL usb]$ ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
[zhksteal@ZhKSteaL usb]

2. /etc/bumblebee contains

[zhksteal@ZhKSteaL usb]$ ls /etc/bumblebee/
bumblebee.conf	xorg.conf.d	xorg.conf.nvidia

[zhksteal@ZhKSteaL usb]$ ls /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.d/
10-dummy.conf

3. I changed in bumblebee.conf according to recommendation on forum
Driver=nvidia
Bridge=virtualgl

[zhksteal@ZhKSteaL usb]$ cat /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf 
# Configuration file for Bumblebee. Values should **not** be put between quotes

## Server options. Any change made in this section will need a server restart
# to take effect.
[bumblebeed]
# The secondary Xorg server DISPLAY number
VirtualDisplay=:8
# Should the unused Xorg server be kept running? Set this to true if waiting
# for X to be ready is too long and don't need power management at all.
KeepUnusedXServer=false
# The name of the Bumbleblee server group name (GID name)
ServerGroup=bumblebee
# Card power state at exit. Set to false if the card shoud be ON when Bumblebee
# server exits.
TurnCardOffAtExit=false
# The default behavior of '-f' option on optirun. If set to "true", '-f' will
# be ignored.
NoEcoModeOverride=false
# The Driver used by Bumblebee server. If this value is not set (or empty),
# auto-detection is performed. The available drivers are nvidia and nouveau
# (See also the driver-specific sections below)
Driver=nvidia
# Directory with a dummy config file to pass as a -configdir to secondary X
XorgConfDir=/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.d


## Client options. Will take effect on the next optirun executed.
[optirun]
# Acceleration/ rendering bridge, possible values are auto, virtualgl and
# primus.
#Bridge=auto
Bridge=virtualgl
# The method used for VirtualGL to transport frames between X servers.
# Possible values are proxy, jpeg, rgb, xv and yuv.
VGLTransport=proxy
# List of paths which are searched for the primus libGL.so.1 when using
# the primus bridge
PrimusLibraryPath=/usr/lib/primus:/usr/lib32/primus
# Should the program run under optirun even if Bumblebee server or nvidia card
# is not available?
AllowFallbackToIGC=false


# Driver-specific settings are grouped under [driver-NAME]. The sections are
# parsed if the Driver setting in [bumblebeed] is set to NAME (or if auto-
# detection resolves to NAME).
# PMMethod: method to use for saving power by disabling the nvidia card, valid
# values are: auto - automatically detect which PM method to use
#         bbswitch - new in BB 3, recommended if available
#       switcheroo - vga_switcheroo method, use at your own risk
#             none - disable PM completely
# https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/Comparison-of-PM-methods

## Section with nvidia driver specific options, only parsed if Driver=nvidia
[driver-nvidia]
# Module name to load, defaults to Driver if empty or unset
KernelDriver=nvidia
PMMethod=auto
# colon-separated path to the nvidia libraries
LibraryPath=/usr/lib/nvidia:/usr/lib32/nvidia
# comma-separated path of the directory containing nvidia_drv.so and the
# default Xorg modules path
XorgModulePath=/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg/,/usr/lib/xorg/modules
XorgConfFile=/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia

## Section with nouveau driver specific options, only parsed if Driver=nouveau
[driver-nouveau]
KernelDriver=nouveau
PMMethod=auto
XorgConfFile=/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nouveau

4. Add BusID in Section Device accroding to lspci output

[zhksteal@ZhKSteaL usb]$ cat /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia

7. Add MODULES="i915 nouveau bbswitch" to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and re-run mkinitcpio -p linux

[zhksteal@ZhKSteaL usb]$ cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf 
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run.  Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array.  For instance:

Re: Sony VAIO Intel/Nvidia Bumblebee/Xorg issue

Why do you load the nouveau module, if you want to use the closed nvidia driver?

Re: Sony VAIO Intel/Nvidia Bumblebee/Xorg issue

Do you mean MODULES="i915 nouveau bbswitch"?
It was some forum topic with that suggest.
Should I change nouveau to nvidia and re-run mkinitcpio ?

Re: Sony VAIO Intel/Nvidia Bumblebee/Xorg issue

Just remove nouveau and rebuild the image.

Re: Sony VAIO Intel/Nvidia Bumblebee/Xorg issue

Afaik bumblebee looks and reads xorg.conf first / default if it is there in /etc/X11 so try making that file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf with your config in the 1st post. Also in your config use semicolons instead of periods like: 04:00:0 instead of 04:00.0.

I have an Asus laptop with similar hybrid graphics with intel having a set with the cpu and nvida having their own card as well. Asus K53SD is the specific model, here's my xorg configs that I have:  https://github.com/cj360/archlinux-conf … er/etc/X11.
