Hey guys!

Is there any progress on the Optimus matter?

Astilex5 commented 5 years ago

@JeffLabonte I would keep an eye on this thread over at the Nvidia Dev Threads. https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/957981/linux/prime-render-offloading-on-nvidia-optimus/

Last they mentioned they "laid the groundwork with the server-side vendor-neutral dispatch code that's in X.Org xserver 1.20" Given they are working with X.org 1.20 it seems we may have an official solution in the not so distant future.

@Astilex5 I saw the post, but I remain skeptical when it comes to Nvidia and their sayings. I have a lot more trust in the community.

Any news on the recently introduced PRIME render offload feature for Solus?: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/435.17/README/primerenderoffload.html

The latest driver 440.31 supports it, technically speaking: https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/435.21/README/primerenderoffload.html

But it may not work out-of-the-box. I'm trying to get it to work as I type this.

I t does not work after adding the ServerLayout suggested in Nvidia docs. xrandr --listproviders will list only one provider (intel integrated card). Ok, I just remembered that xorg-server 1.21 was required, unless patches are applied, so it is not surprise.
