I have setup bumblebee / dkms / bbswitch and all the other necessary packages to run optirun graphics applications. I run my KDE session using the native intel graphics card. I have installed all of the appropriate optimus-related packages from the home:/Overman79: repository and everything seems to work fine. However, I am now trying to add on a DisplayLink USB/DVI/VGA device to push an extra monitor and running into some issues. My understanding is that the latest NVIDIA drivers support RandR 1.4 as well as DisplayLink devices, however my output from xrandr --version shows that I have RandR 1.3 version. I cannot use the advanced xrandr commands that I believe will help me configure the displaylink device since my RandR is 1.3. I am using NVIDIA driver 319.32-1-1 (latest). Does anyone know what might be needed to get my RandR to be version 1.4? I have checked all of the packages and can't find any deficiencies that are not installed. In short, I am trying to setup my optimus laptop to run the optimus technology along with the DisplayLink capabilities (i.e. run optirun for high graphics performance needs and run an additional monitor with the DisplayLink device). A screen connected to the DisplayLink device is green, indicating it is loading to some degree. Thanks for any help that can be provided.
