Clevo B5130M, how to make it work?

derWarst commented 13 years ago

Hello,

I've just started using Linux. To me, it is quite an adventure and sometimes I'm basically completely overwhelmed with all the stuff you guys talk about on an ervery day basis. The thing is: I have a Schenker laptop, based on a Clevo B5130M barebone running natty. I've installed nvidia-current and Bumblebee and tried quite a few things to make it work, actually had it working halfways briefly (no disable, but optirun worked) by using some random script from the examples. A bit later, I updated to a newer version, being greeted with the new configuration screen, which said :

 The following system profile has been found/selected:                       

      Machine: CLEVO CO. 
       B5130M

      Connected Monitor: UNDEFINED                             
      nVidia Card BusID: PCI:01:00:0                        
      Power Control Scripts: Unavailable                 
      Tested on:  Ubuntu 11.04                                

      Submitted by:  Christoph

It then deleted the enable-disable sripts I used before. Having looked at the example scripts, I guess I'll have to replace the last line of the template with something. But with what? How do I find out what to put in there?

I am sorry, this is a bit beyond me.

could someone please take me by the hand and guide me through this? I'm quite eager to learn how to do it myself, but I find it really hard to make sense of all the either overly specific or broadly generic informations I found so far.

Thanks, Simon

Just found this wiki entry:

Mailed an archive off, hope for the best... All the best, Simon

Hello Simon,

Power Control Scripts are about to be removed temporary because those are not implemented correctly and may cause stability issues. So, Bumblebee can currently be used to run programs on the card (original purpose). The enablecard-script should contain at least:

#!/bin/sh
modprobe nvidia-current

The disable card script:

#!/bin/sh
rmmod nvidia

That's all for those scripts.
