| 1 | **Instructions for testing the patch** | |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | Upgrade xorg/nouveau and the kernel from xorg-edgers: | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa | |
| 6 | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | Install kernel 3.2. The current version is 3.2.0-5: | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | - | sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-5-generic |
| 10 | + | sudo apt-get install linux-{image,headers}-3.2.0-5-generic
|
| 11 | ||
| 12 | ||
| 13 | Reboot | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | ||
| 16 | Apply the patch against the sources of the current kernel version: | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) | |
| 19 | cd linux-* | |
| 20 | cp /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/Module.symvers . | |
| 21 | make oldconfig && make prepare && make scripts | |
| 22 | wget http://lekensteyn.nl/files/nouveau-switcheroo-optimus.patch | |
| 23 | patch -p1 < nouveau-switcheroo-optimus.patch | |
| 24 | make M=drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | ||
| 27 | ||
| 28 | Load module dependencies, unload old, load new: | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | sudo modprobe -v nouveau | |
| 31 | sudo rmmod nouveau | |
| 32 | sudo insmod drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | Make the module work across reboots: | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | sudo cp drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/ | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | sudo update-initramfs -u | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | ||
| 41 | ||
| 42 | This won't persist between kernel upgrades, for that use DKMS | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | (or re-apply these instructions) |
