i can confirm that this driver works on Dell G5 15 5587 but i can't run second screen.
Is running mutiple displays supported?

Hi i noticed a couple of issues:

Optirun service is not started on boot

Also it seems that nvidia still runs even though intel is used by default. On arch with nvidia-xrun only intel was running or nvidia which resulted in lower temps and lower power usage.

Can this be done?

Hi,

First of all, thank you so much for putting this package together! I can finally use Optimus on my laptop in FreeBSD without having to use Linux. 👍

I couldn't get the optimus service to run unless I modified the the display device section to the following:

    Identifier "Device1"
    Driver "nvidia"
    VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BusID "1:0:0"
    Option "NoLogo" "true"
    Option "UseEDID" "false"
    Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "True"
EndSection

Without the "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "True" I was getting the (EE): No screens found error.

Thanks,
Tom

Should the xorg conf file have both intel and nvidia devices? What happens when a new driver get released? I dont suppose nvidia-xrun works with freebsd? Lastly does optirun work with wine and steam?

Thanks a lot for your time and effort

Just cloned the repo and run make.
It seems "ARCH" is not being set correctly ?.

Hi and thanks for your effort

On my setup optimus srrvice can only start manually. It is added in rc.conf

Any ideas?
