Hi archers, I've been runing AL for some time, and, after more games has been added to steam lib, play them. So I've moved to bumlebee setup, in order to exploit my beefy GFX 660.

O RLY, no mouse module?

What I do wrong? Cheese, Pizza & Tacos Szymon Szydełko

PS. I haven't any video "Driver" clauses in xorg.conf.d - there are only evdev and synaptics references. PPS. I use nvidia-bumblebee-ck driver and corresponding kernel, but on arch' mainline, everything is the same.

As you can see, it's an XORG error. The "module does not exist" means that you don't have xf86-whatever-whatever package. mouse_drv module is provided by xf86-video-mouse. But it shouldn't be looking for it unless you specified it in xorg.conf ... I could be wrong though, I don't have nvidia nor I have used the program you use ...

It should be "xf86-input-mouse" ... Sorry. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=xf86-input-mouse

Thanks, this moved the issue further: now what I have is: szymon@arch ~ % optirun glxgears [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0. Please

and excerpt from dmesg: NVRM: failed to copy vbios to system memory. NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x30:0xffffffff:756) NVRM: rm_init_adapter(0) failed

and from /var/log/Xorg.8.log: http://paste.kde.org/693368/ (Paste since this one is very long.)

Any ideas? Xorg is black magic for me, it's logs aren't better. Thanks in advance, Szymon

It's not that I understand much from logs (aside that you might need xf86-input-kbd, too) but it seems that the problem is on the kernel side. Does "nvidia" kernel module exist? Is it loaded when you run optirun?

Yup, kbd also is installed, yup, nvidia module exist, yup, when I start optirun it loads this module.

So, can you post your kernel log? You can dump journalctl -b output to a file and pastebin it ... You can use --no-pager for easier redirect to file.

In your log, about line 1089: mar 11 13:05:48 arch.local kernel: NVRM: failed to copy vbios to system memory. mar 11 13:05:48 arch.local kernel: NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x30:0xffffffff:756) mar 11 13:05:48 arch.local kernel: NVRM: rm_init_adapter(0) failed There's entry about such problem in NVIDIA common problems section [1]: --- Why does the VBIOS fail to load on my Optimus system? On some notebooks with Optimus graphics, the NVIDIA driver may not be able to retrieve the Video BIOS due to interactions between the System BIOS and the Linux kernel's ACPI subsystem. On affected notebooks, applications that require the GPU will fail, and messages like the following may appear in the system log: NVRM: failed to copy vbios to system memory. NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x30:0xffffffff:858) NVRM: rm_init_adapter(0) failed Such problems are typically beyond the control of the NVIDIA driver, which relies on proper cooperation of ACPI and the System BIOS to retrieve important information about the GPU, including the Video BIOS. --- Have you tried to disable power management (automatic switching card on and off)?

2. Hmm, can I disable Intel gpu? And just leave Nvidia one?

As far as I know you cannot do that on a Optimus system. Maybe your card is not turned on when optirun starts.

What's "bbswitch" anyways? As I said, I never used bumblebee, but that might be a source of your problems.

bbswitch is a module written by Bumblebee developers, aiming to provide dynamic power management of (in other words, automatically switching on and off) the discrete NVIDIA card.
