NVIDIA双显卡

NVIDIA双显卡

第一步：
代码:
sudo update-pciids #更新显卡信息非常重要，否则可能识别出错
lspci -v | grep -i vga #察看显卡

我的显卡信息如下：
代码:
00:02.0
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core
Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00
[VGA controller])
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 540M] (rev ff) (prog-if ff)

装
独立显卡驱动有成功的，不过也挺复杂，想想没必要，因为对于这种双显卡的机器，一般集成显卡就很强了，linux下没有大型游戏，顶多就看看电影，足矣，
包括开特效，都没问题，好像独立显卡有些多余，可能是我的cpu稍强一点吧，，但是我以前的上网本还可以看720p的高清电影呢，所以我认为即使处理器差
点也不需要用独立显卡，除非你用显卡实现某些特殊任务，一句话，你电脑能正常使用，可以什么都不管。
如果你非得想管一管，怎么办，有办法，虽然nvidia的optimus不打算支持linux，但是有人解决了

对于ubuntu，操作很简单
