If i type lspci| grep VGA
into the terminal i get this output:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Ivy Bridge Graphics Controller(rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 0fd1 (rev a1)
When i install nvidia-current it installs 259.49 which is the wrong driver for the 650m (259.59 is the correct). Any thoughts?
EDIT: I employed this command dpkg --list | egrep '(nvidia|bumbl)' | grep ^ii
which output
ii bumblebee 3.0-2~preciseppa1 nVidia Optimus support
ii bumblebee-nvidia 3.0-2~preciseppa1 nVidia Optimus support using the proprietary NVIDIA driver
ii nvidia-common 1:0.2.44 Find obsolete NVIDIA drivers
ii nvidia-current 295.40-0ubuntu1 NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library
ii nvidia-settings 295.33-0ubuntu1 Tool of configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver
So I guess this shows that since it has no idea which card it is, it doesn't pick the right drivers...
Also the computer is a Samsung Series 7 (700Z7C) if that helps
Running optirun glxspheres
gives this output in kern.log
