Bug Description

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=258304

Hybrids with the Ability to turn off the 3d chip:

AMD/ATI calls it PowerXpress and Nvidia HybridPower. It uses 2 graphics cards, one energy efficient with little 3d power and the other for gaming (fast and uses more/a lot of power), the user can choose which chip to use.
This is not a new concept. Sony has build in 2 graphics chips into some of their laptops for years. In the past a reboot was required to switch between the chips. With the new generation it is possible to change between chips on the fly, the screen will flicker but no need to reboot. At least in Windows Vista (XP, Linux not supported) the user can switch freely between the chips or set up a profile to do so automatically (eg when on battery use low power chip and when plugged in use the more powerful chip).

The graphic card hybrid not only works with two Nvidia or AMD cards but the low power Intel graphics solutions (mostly shard memory) can also be combined with 3d chips from AMD or Nvidia. This solution is ideal for users who want maximum battery life and be able to play current games. The most likely combination is Intel shard memory graphics card for battery life and some low to mid level 3d chip. This will not give great 3d performance but enable you to play some games.

Limitations are the drivers. Special drivers are needed depending on which graphic chips are combined in the hybrid. This will most likely make you depended on the Notebook manufactures driver support. It is uncertain if 3rd party drivers (such as laptopvideo2go) will be usable.

The following notebooks have Nvidia hybrid graphics (as seen on the link below):
http://www.nvidia.com/object/io_1221136906708.html
- Sony VAIO Z (Nvidia GeForce 9300M GS & Intel GMA 4500MHD)
- Fujitsu Siemens Amilo XI 3650 (Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT & Intel GMA 4500MHD)
- BenQ Joybook S42 (Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT & Intel GMA 4500MHD)

On the NVidia side, we reported this issue in the nvnews forum:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=1916754

On the AMD/ATI side, we got words from Alex Deucher that he will liaise with AMD for docs in time:

On the Sony Vaio Z series, right now both cards are visible under Linux, but there is no way to hot-switching-off (if that is a word...) the Nvidia card. There are currently ~45 users of Sony Vaio Z series using Linux that would like this feature to be implemented. See:

Hot switching video cards on linux will not be possible without a restart of X - the mechanism just doesn't exist at this time. So, we won't be able to reproduce what Vista does without huge code changes in X. What we can hope for is to get the nVidia card to initialise when both cards are presented by the BIOS, or to emulate what the platform drivers do on Windows XP to convince the BIOS that it should only activate the card denoted by the state of the killswitch.

As pointed out in this thread http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=342947 the Solution used in the Z-Series is built by NVIDIA . The Author also states, that the same technology is used in other notebooks. If this is indeed true, it should be possible for NVIDIA to provide drivers using this technology under linux. Or at least provide technical details on how to switch their part of the board off. Also it seems that NVIDIA is providing Windows Drivers in the future supporting at least some of the Intel/NVIDIA Hybrids.

Dear Dev Team

I also own a Z590 and would really like to get rid of vista... For me even a simple switch with reboot would do it, has anyone found a solution how to tell kubuntu which adapter to use? disabling the respective other adapter would be good to save power, but not absolutely necessary i think...

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Rainer

Julius (caesar-bs) wrote :

I would like to add, that it is not necessary to have Windows installed to make the switch work on a VAIO Z notebook. It is sufficient to boot from a XP cd and run the install until it blue screens. A soft reboot via the power switch is going to make the switch LED work and it is possible to use the nvidia card. As i dont think there is any special driver on a win xp sp2 cd, it might be possible get the correct behaviour with bios or acpi magic ??

There is only two changes...

I created/compiles a DSDT to reflect the nvidia version and added via update-initramfs rebooted but there was no change, Card will not activate via this method (for me)

Hi,

I did some progress (being xion.luhnis from fedora-fr). However, I'v
stopped my work on the dsdt file during some time until next week for
personal reasons (study examinations). I'll continue to try some fix
as soon as I can.

In my case, I'v succeeded in using both cards alone. (using winxp
reboot to switch)
I used different xorg configurations for each card and all worked
out-of-the-box on Fedora 10.

For the dsdt file, I compiled it with the whole kernel (and not only
the initram), but it should also work. In fact, it won't make you
switch working, but persisting. With the dsdt-hack, linux don't (or
seems not to) uninitialize the switch at shutdown. Then you can work
on some mode without need to go through winxp as long as you stay on
the same mode.
The problem is that you'll need some day to change and then you'll
need to use winxp again.

Note : in my case, I didn't tried to reflect the nvidia version, but I
changed the _OS code of linux to reflect the one of windows xp sp2.

Hoping we'll find some valuable solution to our problem.
Have a good week-end.

Alexandre Kaspar

Hello,

First, sorry for my bad English but I am French :) .

I have a X300-14N Toshiba laptop with this configuration :
3 GPU : 1X 9400M GT and a SLI with 2X 9800M GTS
Intel Q9000 Core2Quad
2X 320GB SATA HDD
In USA you have the equivalent with X305-706 and X305-708 but the HDD and the Q9000 change (one have a Core2Duo and one a SSD)

I have a Dual Boot with Windows Vista 64B and Ubuntu 8.10 64bit
Currently I can start the X server if I configure my xorg.conf to specify the BusID of my 9400M GT.
If I specify one 9800M GTS I cant start ubuntu : No screen Found.

I cant disable the Hybrid SLI in my BIOS.

With lspci | grep "VGA" I have :
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0628 (rev a1)
04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 9400M G (rev b1)

but in the Nvidia-setting I can see (I have the 180.11 nvidia driver) :
9400M GT BusID: 4:0:0

Hello all,

I own an ACER Aspire 7530G with a Geforce 9400M HybridSLI adapter (at least that what's advertised on the laptop stickers).

nvidia-settings reports a GeForce 9100M G and a GeForce 9300M GS.

lspci: (see attached link "lspci -vvnn" for the whole output of said command)
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 9100M G (rev a2)
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 9300M GS (rev a1)

There is no external button or BIOS switch to swap which card is used - this happens automatically with Vista and seems to be handled by the nvidia driver or Vista power management.

LiveCD and booting without the proprietary driver works, but is very, very slow.

When booting with the proprietary nVidia driver set in xorg.conf, xorg throws an error in xorg.0.log (See links). Only a black screen can be seen.

When setting BusID to "PCI:2:0:0" in xorg.conf, you get a working X with hardware acceleration and all that, but only using the slower of the 2 cards (afaik). See Links for Log.
Using BusID PCI:3:0:0 doesn't work but throws a new error. (See my forum post at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6674183&postcount=1 or the whole output at Links)

Details from a Medion Akoya P8610

BIOS appears to choose the GF9100M rather than the GF9600M GS, so very little 3D acceleration, though nvidia-settings knows both chips are present.

xorg.conf:

----------START----------
Section "Device"
        Identifier "Default Device"
        Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection
---------- END ----------
