To confirm that you are properly accessing the NVIDIA card using Bumblebee, you can use glxinfo (from the glxinfo package) or glxspheres64 (from the virtualgl package - note that on 32bit systems, the command is glxspheres):

#Supertuxkart where are the graphics options install#

Note that the VirtualGL libraries are only recommended by the bumblebee package, so you might not have them installed if you told urpmi not to install recommended packages. Feel free to experiment with both solutions for each application. VirtualGL is the default bridge of the Bumblebee project, but this default value has been changed in Mageia as primus is known to offer better compatibility (e.g. optirun offers more options to play with, and can also use the "VirtualGL" bridge with: In Mageia, both commands will use by default the "primus" bridge and therefore offer similar performances. $ optirun Īlternatively, you can use the primusrun command: To run your application with the discrete NVIDIA card run in the terminal: Now you'll have to restart your computer for the changes to take effect. # urpmi -auto libvirtualgl libturbojpeg0 libprimusĪfter the installation is completed, add the relevant users to the "bumblebee" group to enable the use of the corresponding service. If you are on a 64-bit machine, we recommend installing the following 32-bit dependencies (necessary to run 32-bit programs, very common among e.g. On Mageia 5, a bumblebee-nouveau flavor is available if you want to use GPU offloading with the libre driver. If you intend to use the libre nouveau driver, we recommend to use Reverse PRIME instead of Bumblebee, which should give much better performance on Mageia 6 and later.

#Supertuxkart where are the graphics options driver#

It is meant for use with the proprietary nvidia-current driver older branches of the driver may work too, but the configuration would need to be edited manually to match the driver's identifier. The Bumblebee package is available directly in Mageia's repositories since Mageia 5.

The default (empty) configuration should work fine to boot and start Xorg with the Intel drivers.įor Bumblebee, you don't need to do any specific driver configuration - the package will handle it. If anything goes wrong, you can boot in text mode and delete/rename the file /etc/X11/nf. Do not use the "hybrid configuration" option if it is shown, as it would result in a non-working Xorg setup. When asked, configure only the Intel integrated graphics processor in the MCC / XFdrake - the most common hardware configuration for Optimus is that the monitor is connected only to the Intel IGP, and it's therefore the one that should be configured. You can then start applications via Bumblebee using either the optirun or primusrun commands as described in a later section. When your laptop is configured to use Bumblebee, your system starts using the Intel chipset and works by default as if there was no NVIDIA card. Using Bumblebee, you can use your NVIDIA card for rendering graphics which will be displayed using the Intel chipset. (If failing, try the other way around.)īumblebee aims to provide support for NVIDIA Optimus laptops for GNU/Linux distributions. In all three cases, when configuring the graphics drivers, one must during install and the usual Mageia tools configure only the integrated GPU (at least in most Optimus configurations), as it is typically the only one physically connected to a monitor. It allows to fully switch to using the NVIDIA GPU without the overhead of Bumblebee, and is particularly suited for use with CUDA.

Refer to the Nouveau documentation to see how to configure Xorg to use NVIDIA Prime with DRI3.

#Supertuxkart where are the graphics options drivers#

The free Nouveau drivers support Prime GPU offloading out of the box, which can be used via the DRI_PRIME=1 environment variable (unless the proprietary NVIDIA driver is in use by, e.g., Mageia-prime).

Owners of NVIDIA Optimus laptops (integrated Intel or AMD/ATI CPU+GPU, plus a discrete NVIDIA GPU) now have three ways to benefit from the power of their NVIDIA GPU: The integrated is more power efficient, while the discrete is faster. Some laptops comes with "Hybrid Graphics", meaning they have two GPU: one is usually "internal" (or "integrated") into the CPU, and is called IGP (Integrated Graphic Processor), and the other is "dedicated", external to the CPU, and it is called "discrete" (DGP, Discrete/Dedicated Graphics Processor).
