You only have to perform this once every time you boot in to OS X, because in OS X gfxcardstatus will default to "dynamic," which Fedora interprets as "use only Nvidia," since it doesn't know how to hotswap.ĮDIT may I ask what desktop environment you are using? Because I'm using XFCE and I just cannot get scaling down. Note that sometimes you need to make this change in OS X twice (eg, boot into OS X, switch to integrated, reboot back into OS X, switch to integrated again, boot into Linux, done).
#Gfxcardstatus 2.2.1 drivers#
This might even resolve some of your problems with nvidia, since you simply won't be using the discrete graphics, but instead the integrated Intel graphics (for which the drivers are very, very good - at least much better than nvidia's). However, note that you will need gfxcardstatus 2.2.1, so copy the download button there but substitute the "2.3" with "2.2.1".
#Gfxcardstatus 2.2.1 install#
I will continue delving the depths of the internet trying to find a solution.įYI, if you want to use the integrated graphics instead of the discrete graphics and double your battery life, install gfxcardstatus in OS X and set it to "integrated" before rebooting into Linux. Mostly it happens when the display turns on and off, but it can happen randomly as well, and sometimes the screen flickers when it happens.Īny help or suggestions on where to start would be greatly appreciated. If I am not paying attention I will look and find that 10 "problem in the kernel package been detected".


The developer has put this down to the updated gfxCardStatus ‘triggering’ a defect related to the nVidia graphics card which in turn triggers the OS X BSOD.

So I bought a MBP (15-inch, retina, latest version - 11,1 iirc) and got it mostly working (wifi, most scaling things, not heating up to 100 degrees, etc.), but I am having a few issues that I don't even know where to start finding the problem. Tests show that after multiple reboots the Integrated only option continues to work with each reboot, unlike the experience we had with gfxCardStatus v2.2.1 in testing.
