Hi

I have a Samsung RF511 with an NVIDIA GeForce GT540M, mi OS is Ubuntu 11.04 Natty 64 bits
I first tried bumblebee but then I heard of ironhide so I installed it and I installed the ironhide ui. I ran ironhide-configuration and selected one of the recommended settings, continued with the steps and it was done. Everything was fine, optirun command were ok and the ironhide notification icon showed when the discrete card was enabled.

But I couldn't ran the ironhide-app-settings and the recommended setting I selected didn't have power managemente script so I tried to reconfigure it and selected another setting recommended but with power management script. But in this case the NVIDIA dindn't work and I got this error message in the terminal:

The nvidia driver was not loaded, try: sudo modprobe nvidia-current * The Ironhide Xserver failed to start. Please check /var/log/Xorg.8.log[fail]
* Stopping Ironhide X server ironhide [fail]
* Starting Ironhide X server ironhide
Then i tried to reconfigure ti again ti the first setting but it also didn't work.
I then tried uninstalling (completele) ironhide and ironhide ui from synaptics, and reinstalling, but it was the same.

So please helpe me!! What should I do? I've heard that reinstall the nvidia drivers can make my system crash, but i'm not sure, now I get the full Intel fonctionality, like the Unity and compiz effects...

Please help!!!
Best Regards
