Native Nvidia Optimus and Fedora 19

[Powell, Michael]

A re-post since I forgot HTML was on.

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 ;-)

The general consensus is that the kernel must be 3.9 or higher, and I am running 3.9.9-302. The Nvidia readme indicates CONFIG_DRM has to be enabled and the following driver interfaces present (http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86-ARM/319.32/README/randr14.html):

drm_gem_prime_export
drm_gem_prime_import
gem_prime_pin
gem_prime_get_sg_table
gem_prime_import_sg_table
gem_prime_vmap
gem_prime_vunmap

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).

The way I determined this information was through:
`cat /boot/config-3.9.9-302.fc19.x86_64 | grep CONFIG_DRM`
`cat /lib/modules/3.9.9-302.fc19.x86_64/modules.symbols | grep gem_prime`

Am I missing something or does it appear that F19 kernel is missing vital parts for native Nvidia Optimus support?
