  • add more filter to current config used and readapted xorg config editor for customized xorg.conf.
  • reviewed xrandr config system and fixed it to be lighter.
  • options in xorg file are useless and removed by default because with modesetting they are not reconize by the driver.
  • introducing first modifications for next 'offload' setting. Read inside the script at 'go_offload' function if you want to help.
  • default options conf file nvidia-drm set is by default set to 'none' (looks useless in most cases).

  • Save your libconfig file and custom xorg file if any.

  • Makefile: changed 'sh' to 'bash' prefix in command line on user clever comment.

( 2018/04/24 ) v0.9.11

  • Add a options config file editable by nvidia-prime-ui because some users seems to have big trouble with grub config. Options file default sample is send with comment.
  • options are :
  • delay: allow to add a user's session delay before launching xrandr command (default 5).
  • intel_nodelay: start intel user's session without the configured delay (intel usually doesn't need it).
  • cfg_grub: enable/disable check and config (default 1).
  • cfg_modeset: enable/disable modeset config (if cfg_grub is set to 1) (default 1).
  • nv_modeset: set nvidia modeset (grub section) to set (1) or unset (0) (default 1).
  • font_style: nvidia-prime-ui brighness (dark/bright background.) (default 0)
  • Rewrote grub config section to be more intuitive. It separatly add modeset and 'nouveau' blacklist. Modeset could be change to 0 or 1 thruough options config file (default is 1).
  • Review xrandr auto config section to add offline displays at session manager start when nvidia option is set.
  • Add a report.sample in markdown to fill in issue reports.

( 2018/04/22 ) v0.9.10

  • Nvidia-prime-select was untested on multi display. It appeared that actual xrandr detection and sets failed, also display.prime was needed more delay before lauching because of xramdr monitors.xml file sets conflict.
  • Above is fixed (hopefully), there's still a strange wallpaper behaviour diplayed in double on my laptop desktop. Please, report if you have the same issue.
  • Just realize, I forgot to update /etc/modprobe.d to blacklist nouveau driver. Fixed (thanks to Tim).
  • Note: laptop is not my default machine, and I can't figure out all possible issues by my self, or wait, like it actually the case, my PC's mother board to die to discover them.

( 2018/04/13 ) v0.9.9

  • Importante change done. Look's more like a complete rewrite.
  • NEW USER: nothing special, just type as superuser or admin : (sudo) make install.
  • OLD USER:
  • uninstall previous version first: (sudo) make unisntall.
  • then reinstall as usualy: (sudo) make install.
  • BOTH:
  • If your display settings are not done, do it first with your desktop display tool.
  • execute nvidia-prime-select UI and select your display card.
  • or by command line: nvidia-prime-select 'your_option'.
  • Restart your session.
  • An issue makes that session manager could take 30s to display correctly password field.
  • You could also just reboot.
  • After reboot/restart you may reconfigure your display setting and check if the xorg.conf fit your needs.
  • POSSIBLE ISSUES:
  • Session restart on gdm (gnome3) may cause result in a blank screen. In previous nvidia-prime-select, this issue was fix by inserting a delay waiting for full gdm start before insert xrandr command line. Try to uncomment 'sleep' function in /etc/nvidia-prime/xinitrc.prime and different delay. If it doesn't fix, think to change session manager to lightdm.
  • In some case, xrandr display config (~.config/monitors.xml) could conflict with nvidia-prime-select xrandr auto conf function. First, remove ~.config/monitors.xml, and restart your session. If it doesn't fix, set your display again and disable nvidia-prime.desktop autostart (menu > system > pref > personal > autostart), then restart your session.
  • At session restart login has a strange behaviour and could take 30/40s to display correctly. It maybe a polkit issue, but nt sure.
  • Do not hesitate to send issue reports on Github page.
