Intel/nVidia GLX Problems with Mint 16 Mate

Post by kmiller »

I'm running a new Asus N56JR notebook (http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/N56JR/) and installed a clean 15 Mate on it that I later upgraded to Mint 16. Later, I installed bumblebee (trying to get graphics working) the nvidia proprietary driver.

Laptop has:
Intel Core i7 4700HQ Processor
Intel HM86 Express Chipset
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M 2GB GDDR5 VRAM

The BIOS does not have any option to change the graphics to favor the Intel over the nVidia.

Unforunately, I cannot seem to get any OpenGL applications to work. I would LOVE to have JUST the NVIDIA card do everything (not really worried about the battery), but I need to get some OpenGL working on here or I'll have to change to Windows (this machine is for work, and I can use the apps I need on my other systems, but not yet on this one.)

When I check the drivers (LSPCI -K)

Code: Select all

~ # lspci -k
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
	Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 14ad
	Kernel driver in use: i915
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK106M [GeForce GTX 760M] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 14ad
	Kernel driver in use: nouveau
but when I run something like GLXGEARS

Code: Select all

~ # glxgears
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
And LSMOD shows (filtered)

Code: Select all

~ # lsmod |sort
drm                   297056  5 ttm,i915,drm_kms_helper,nouveau
drm_kms_helper         52710  2 i915,nouveau
i2c_algo_bit           13413  2 i915,nouveau

mxm_wmi                13021  1 nouveau
nouveau               943717  0 
ttm                    84169  1 nouveau
video                  19318  3 i915,nouveau,asus_wmi
wmi                    19070  3 mxm_wmi,nouveau,asus_wmi
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Packages:

Code: Select all

~ # dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall |grep nvidia
nvidia-319-updates				install
nvidia-persistenced				install
nvidia-settings					install
nvidia-settings-313-updates			install
nvidia-settings-319-updates			install

~ # dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall |grep intel
intel-gpu-tools					install
intel-linux-graphics-installer			install
libdrm-intel1:amd64				install
libdrm-intel1:i386				install
Update 01: If I remove bumblee and use the Driver Manager to set the nVIdia 331, I can "modprobe nvidia" and then see:

Code: Select all

~ # lspci -k
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
	Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 14ad
	Kernel driver in use: i915
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK106M [GeForce GTX 760M] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 14ad
	Kernel driver in use: nvidia
but I still cannot get OpenGL working.
