[EN] vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
« on: 2014/10/28, 16:08:49 »
Bug reference: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/159

Little explanation.
On notebook with dual card the intel integrated in the motherboard is detected as a Vga card, the nvidia as 3d controller.

With this little patch the bug is fixed: http://pastebin.com/wpmFi38k
There is a recent discussion on the kernel mailing list about this: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg730468.html
Ticket reference: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63641
Ubuntu ticket reference: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/1381175

I think that this patch will be fix all of my problem with my laptop and the nvidia card.
Is possible add this very little patch to the kernel?
