<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone tried to get native Optimus running on a Fedora 19 box? When I attempt it, I get a blank black screen. I posted on the Nvidia forums, but no one has replied yet and I’m getting anxious ;-)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The general consensus is that the kernel must be 3.9 or higher, and I am running 3.9.9-302. The Nvidia
<a href="http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86-ARM/319.32/README/randr14.html">
readme</a> indicates <b>CONFIG_DRM</b> has to be enabled and the following driver interfaces present:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have verified that CONFIG_DRM is enabled within the kernel as a module and it’s loaded, but when I attempted to verify the list of module symbols, I only found two (the ones in bold).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The way I determined this information was through:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">`cat /boot/config-3.9.9-302.fc19.x86_64 | grep CONFIG_DRM`<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Am I missing something or does it appear that F19 kernel is missing vital parts for native Nvidia Optimus support?<o:p></o:p></p>
