This page describes how to identify, configure and troubleshoot NVIDIA Optimus enabled devices for Debian. NVIDIA Optimus is a technology which enables dynamic, switchable graphics between your embedded graphics processing unit (GPU) or a discrete GPU.
The instructions on this page apply to Debian Wheezy and newer.
* NVIDIA Optimus - http://www.nvidia.com/object/optimus_technology.html
Installation of Proprietary Graphics Driver Required
The instructions on this page assume that your system has already had the NVIDIA proprietary graphics drivers installed using the instructions, here: ?Driver Installation.
Identification
The quickest method to determine if your device uses an Optimus card is to search against the documented list on NVIDIA's website. Obtain the NVIDIA GPU identifier of your card with:
$ lspci | grep 3D
Compare the identifier (i.e. GeForce 7XXM, 8XXM, 9XXM) with the list, here: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/optimus/supported-gpus
Also note the PCI identifier of the card, which is the 5-digit ID at the beginning of the previous command's output, XX:XX.X.
