Anyway, the whole point of Optimus systems is to use discrete GPU for > hardware acceleration; using generic driver seems to defeat it ... How so? With a modern Xorg you should be able to do 3 things: (a) use modesetting + glamor on any hardware with libGL support to get X operation acceleration [which is not something you care about since you're not going to use the GM108 as a primary] (b) use xrandr-based gpu offloading to get DRI2 offloading with DRI_PRIME=1 (c) use DRI3-based offloading with DRI_PRIME=1 assuming your intel ddx has that enabled Note how nowhere in there is there any mention of a nouveau ddx.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
