This is under Windows, but..... >=20 >=20 Fiddling around longer, I realizes now a console message popping up wheneve= r I try to start the nVidia GPU. I have ignored that the whole time: Sep 21 09:38:30 hermann kernel: ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG_.VID_._DSM: Ar= gument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20130823/nsarguments-97= ) Sep 21 09:38:30 hermann kernel: ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG_.VID_._DSM: Argument = #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20130823/nsarguments-97= ) Sep 21 09:38:30 hermann kernel: ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG_.VID_._DSM: Argument = #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20130823/nsarguments-97= ) Sep 21 09:38:30 hermann kernel: ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG_.VID_._DSM: Argument = #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20130823/nsarguments-97= ) Sep 21 09:38:30 hermann kernel: ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG_.VID_._DSM: Argument = #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20130823/nsarguments-97= ) Sep 21 09:38:30 hermann kernel: ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG_.VID_._DSM: Argument = #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20130823/nsarguments-97= ) Sep 21 09:38:30 hermann kernel: ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG_.VID_._DSM: Argument = #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20130823/nsarguments-97= ) Sep 21 09:38:30 hermann kernel: ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG_.VID_._DSM: Argument = #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20130823/nsarguments-97= ) Sep 21 09:38:30 hermann kernel: ACPI Error: Field [TBF3] at 270336 exceeds Buffer = [NULL] size 262144 (bits) (20130823/dsopcode-249) Sep 21 09:38:30 hermann kernel: ACPI = Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.PEG_.VID_.GETB] (Node 0xfffff800044ef740= ), AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20130823/psparse-553) Sep 21 09:38:30 hermann kernel: = ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.PEG_.VID_._ROM] (Node 0xfffff8000= 44ef780), AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20130823/psparse-553) Sep 21 09:38:30 hermann kernel: = ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG_.VID_._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI= requires [Package] (20130823/nsarguments-97) I'm no ACPI expert, but could this message inform me about some ACPI issues= with selecting the right device/display socket?
