Hi all
I am working on an Alienware M17X which is an optimus technology laptop.
The situation there is the following:
$ optirun inxi -G
Graphics: Card-1: Intel 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller
Card-2: NVIDIA GF114M [GeForce GTX 675M]
X.Org: 1.18.3 drivers: intel (unloaded: fbdev,nv,vesa) Resolution: 1920x1080@60.02hz, 1920x1080@60.00hz
GLX Renderer: GeForce GTX 675M/PCIe/SSE2 GLX Version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 387.34
and
$ uname -a
Linux goldberg 4.14.8-2-default #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 20 10:40:41 UTC 2017 (674981b) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The nvidia driver that I am obliged to use is 387.34 (due to the obligatory presence of bumblebee): the actual package is dkms-nvidia (version 387.34-77.1) from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Bumblebee-Project:/nVidia:/latest/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/
similar bumblebee compliance obligations prevent me to install
nvidia-computeG04
nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default
nvidia-glG04
x11-video-nvidiaG04
or, my laptop fails to boot to the graphics environment.
Cuda installs smoothly and
deviceQuery
finds the nvidia graphics card but then almost none of the samples execute successfully (especially those cuBLAS and other math libraries).
Any ideas?
