Hello,
Unfortunately I've never run across such configuration and I wasn't able to test it. I can give you only some hints.
First, HDMI output (DFP-0) is connected directly to nVidia card, while laptop monitor connected to Intel card. CRT-0 is virtual output, it doesn't have any physical connections. So basically you have two cards, two monitors. I guess it's somehow possible to join them with Xinerama, but I've never actually tried this. Also most likely you won't be able use acceleration at that case. Also you must note that running X server for nVidia card requires different libGL and libglx, so this may be a problem. If ION is supported by nouveau, that probably you're more close to goal.
Also try to check your BIOS, maybe there is option for switching graphics modes/cards or something like this. If it's present, then you're lucky and most likely can switch nVidia card to be primary one. Then just remove debumblebee, apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms and you're done. But if there is no such option, then only the hard unexplored way remains.
As conclusion debumblebee doesn't do anything useful at this case, try to build custom configuration from scratch.
Thanks :) I'm trying, my Asus EeePC 1215N doesn't have a bios option, then seems Gnome3 have problems in running with 2 displays.
Again, discard all logic that you have just two displays. You have two separate video cards, and each one has its own display.
Closing as this isn't debumblebee issue, but question of very specific xorg configuration.
Hi,
First of all, thanks for your precious work, debumblebee works like a charm. Anyway I'd need an hel in the setup of an external TV, connected by HDMI.
This is my xorg.conf.nvidia
If I run some app with optirun a symbol X appears on the second screen, while the laptop display working. Sounds strange because this is the result of nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info:
Seems that Samsung (External) is DFP-0, and DFP-0 is the current monitor in .conf.nvidia This is the result without Samsung connected:
Then I have a xorg.conf.new in /root and no xorg.conf in etc/X11/, is it ok?
I see that I can configure external displays with nvidia-settings, but when I launch it gdm3 says it is not currently running nvidia drivers, is it due to the fact that it should start with optirun?
Thanks a lot :)
