Using Nvidia 319 with bumblebee

rated 0 times [ 8] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 15597 / 2 Years ago, wed, september 28, 2022, 2:06:43

I have Optimus laptop running Raring and now I'm using nvidia 304 drivers, which have bad performance and some games are not working properly (e.g. Oil Rush is working properly only with 319, with older drivers I have a problem with lighting, so the game is unplayable)

So is there a way how to run bumblebee with Nvidia 319 downloaded from Nvidia website?
I know about Bumblebee config, but I don't know what should I edit in it.

Thanks for help.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa 

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install nvidia-319 nvidia-settings-319

Then edit bumblebee.conf

 sudo nano /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf

It should have this lines:

# You need to explicit the driver used by Bumblebee server.

Driver=nvidia



KernelDriver=nvidia-graphics-drivers-319

PMMethod=auto

# colon-separated path to the nvidia libraries

LibraryPath=/usr/lib/nvidia-graphics-drivers-319:/usr/lib32/nvidia-graphics-drivers-319

# comma-separated path of the directory containing nvidia_drv.so and the

# default Xorg modules path

XorgModulePath=/usr/lib/nvidia-graphics-drivers-319/xorg,/usr/lib/xorg/modules

XorgConfFile=/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia

Restart the bumblebeed daemon using the following command:

 sudo service bumblebeed restart

Just install & tested its working fine
