You'll require MESA 11.2 & Linux 4.6 for Maxwell support - or the nvidia blob.
If you want to avoid the latter by all means, you'll have to run KWin (and better any GL client) on the intel chip.



Hello again, I did upgrade to the latest Nvidia driver. "lspci -k" gives:
Code: Select all
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM206 [GeForce GTX 960] (rev a1)
        Subsystem: Device 196e:1138
        Kernel driver in use: nvidia
        Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidia


You did mention the Linux 4.6 kernel, which is not available yet.
[Fedora developers have decided this summer's release of Fedora 24 will ship with the recently released Linux 4.5 kernel.

Fedora kernel stakeholders had a discussion to decide what kernel to use for the Fedora 24 release. While Linux 4.6 should likely be out just before the final freeze of Fedora 24, they decided that it would be cutting things close and instead would like to ensure a solid Linux 4.5 is shipped for Fedora 24.

Also, what did you mean by "the Nvidia Blob"? Did you mean the Nvidia Driver? I admit that it is not the easiest driver to load but I did it!

Finally, it appears that "MESA 11.2" is also not available yet.

Mesa 11.2 was supposed to be released in early March but that milestone has yet to be reached


Since I have installed the Nvidia driver, should I sent you more log statistics?

Thank You for all of your help.

I'm aware that MESA 11.2 & Linux 4.6 are bleeding edge ;-)

Do you imply you cannot select OpenGL compositing despite using the nvidia blob?
(yes, it's the official binary driver - commonly referred to as the "blob" =)

It is working! All that I needed to do was to select OpenGL 2.0 compositing from the compositing window. Then some small changes to "Desktop effects".

Wow, that was a challenge to get here but I could not have done it without your help.

is there a way to mark this post as "solved"?

Thank You

There should be a button for this, but I think I've never started any thread - so I can't say fo sure :-)
