So far the only driver I've been able to get to work on this is the VESA would like to have either Nouveau or Nvidia working.

With the Nvidia driver I end up with a blank screen.

In both cases make.conf VIDEO_CARDS is set to nouveau or nvidia as the case may be.

Trying not to paste too much in, but if more would help just let me know.

Code:

01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 750M] (rev a1)
   Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Device 10e7
   Kernel modules: nvidia


Obviously the kernel module changes depending on which I'm trying at the time.

Nouveau: 1.0.9

With the Nvidia created xorg.conf it can't even find the card, had to add the BusID to it. It gets the sync frequencies wrong.

Have tried putting in the proper sync frequencies and even a modeline, didn't help.

Is your laptop Optimus Based :?: If so, see No device detected while startx?

Yup, that was it. Thanks.

Took a lot of messing around (ran into another problem but got that one fixed).
