a SuperMicro X11SSV-Q motherboard with an i7-6700 (6th gen i7) processor.
When I enable this option, the system boots (although I can tell that it
does something different, the standard font that the bootup messages display
in is smaller, and I get a bunch of DRM warnings).</font>

appears, it is like the screen is twice as wide as it is supposed to be,

will slide to the left off the border and take as much movement to get
back on the visible screen. I can blindly login using the keyboard, and
my desktop appears, but again, only apparently the right half. If I move
the mouse, say up and down without clicking the buttons, it is like it
is dragging a shade over the screen with the mouse. I can right click,
then slide the mouse down and reveal the right click menu.</font>

<br><font size=3>Hi again, <br>
<br>
as posted a short while ago, I have a new Acer Aspire E5-575G-55DE laptop
and am trying to get C7 running on it. <br>
<br>
This laptop has an intel i5-6200U with integrated HD Graphics 520. It also
has an nvidia GeForce GTX 950M. <br>
Installing kmod-nvidia and bumblebee as explained [1] results in the "Oh
no! Something has gone wrong" screen. I suspect that's because the
regular C7 kernel and xorg-x11-drv-intel don't support the intel 520. <br>
<br>
Booting into kernel-lt, it seems the intel 520 works...? This is surprising
because Farkas Levente's recent post to this list suggested that a newer
xorg-x11-drv-intel should be needed, in addition to the newer kernel. But
I have a bunch of OK-looking intel messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log , and
glxinfo says: <br>
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center <br>
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Skylake ULT GT2 <br>
<br>
Question 1: does this mean the intel 520 works fully under kernel-lt? If
not, what should I look at? <br>
<br>
<br>
Assuming the intel GPU works under kernel-lt, I could then hope to get
nvidia and bumblebee working. I've been using the elrepo nvidia drivers
for ages, but I could use the nvidia-provided installer and hope it doesn't
clobber anything (which I doubt...). <br>
Question 2: any caveats here? <br>
<br>
Finally I would need to get bumblebee working, otherwise the nvidia stuff
is useless. However, bumblebee requires kmod-bbswitch... <br>
Question 3: I guess I would have to rebuild bbswitch [2] for kernel-lt,
but could I still use the elrepo-provided bumblebee ? <br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks for any advice anyone can provide. <br>
Regards, <br>
Nicolas <br>
