Hi all of you;

First congratulations for bumblebee, this is really making the difference.
I do have a naive question. I have an alienware MX11 R3 and you guys helped me already quite a lot.
It remains that I REALLY wish to use a double screen, I believe that it needs to get the card activated but did not get succesful yet.
The problem is that the second monitor is not detected. I thought that running 'optirun gnome-display-properties' would have help .... but obviously it would have been too easy.

Does anyone would have an idea ????

Best regards

Ben

I'd also really like a solution for HDMI out on the alien-ware M11XR3. Please help!

*** BUMP *** apparently ... but this is also probably not the best place to make such a post.

BUT .... if someone solved the problem.

I agree this is actually quite a showstopper. It would be amazing if this could be resolved somehow. thanks

Did any of you made a post on Ubuntu forums ?
If not this is something we must do.

No. I might have another bash at this over the weekend.

Ok Guys, I got it to work, check out my little howto here http://itviking.net/blog/m11xr3-bumblebee-and-the-dual-screen-setup

It does run a totally separate screen though, no twinview but it's good enough to work on it :-)

Dude,

If you did it, I owe you a drink.
I'll give a test this evening.

Best and thanks for your hard work.
