How to Update Alienware Laptop M11xR2 Device Drivers Quickly & Easily

Step 1 - Download Your Driver

To get the Alienware Laptop M11xR2 driver, click the green download button above. After you complete your download, move on to Step 2.

If the driver listed is not the right version or operating system, use the Alienware Laptop M11xR2 to search our driver archive for the correct version. Simply type the model name and/or number into the search box and click the Search button. You may see different versions in the results. Choose the best match for your PC and operating system.

If you are unsure of the exact model name or number, you can start to narrow your search down by choosing the device driver category of the Dell device you have (such as Printer, Scanner, Video, Network, etc.), and then from there the manufacturer name.

Tech Tip: If you are having trouble deciding which is the right driver, try the Driver Update Utility for Alienware Laptop M11xR2. It is a software utility that will find the right driver for you - automatically.

Step 2 - Install Your Driver

Once you download your new driver, then you need to install it. To install a driver in Windows, you will need to use a built-in utility called Device Manager. It allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them.

How to Open Device Manager

  • In Windows 10 & Windows 8.1, right-click the Start menu and select Device Manager

  • In Windows 8, swipe up from the bottom, or right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose 'All Apps' -> swipe or scroll right and choose 'Control Panel' (under Windows System section) -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager

  • In Windows 7, click Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager

  • In Windows Vista, click Start -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Device Manager

  • In Windows XP, click Start -> Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager button

How to Install drivers using Device Manager

  1. Locate the device and model that is having the issue and double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  2. Select the Driver tab.

  3. Click the Update Driver button and follow the instructions.

In most cases, you will need to reboot your computer in order for the driver update to take effect.

Tech Tip: Driver downloads and updates come in a variety of file formats with different file extensions. For example, you may have downloaded an EXE, INF, ZIP, or SYS file. Each file type has a slighty different installation procedure to follow.

If you are having trouble installing your driver, you should use the Driver Update Utility for Dell. It is a software utility that automatically finds, downloads and installs the right driver for your system. You can even backup your drivers before making any changes, and revert back in case there were any problems. You can safely update all of your drivers in just a few clicks. Once you download and run the utility, it will scan for out-of-date or missing drivers.

When the scan is complete, the driver update utility will display a results page showing which drivers are missing or out-of-date. You can update individual drivers, or all of the necessary drivers with one click.

I’ve been using Ubuntu since 2009 (Ubuntu 9.04). I’m comfortable with Ubuntu because I can usually just install it and get things done rather than spending days or weeks trying to get things working properly (although I must admit it is extremely gratifying getting things working properly). Unlike everyone else I know who uses Linux, I actually like the Unity desktop, although I despise the default orange color scheme (something that can be easily changed).

Very recently, I decided to try out Kubuntu 16.10. I’m really glad I did. I’m not going to say I like Kubuntu better than Ubuntu (or KDE more than Unity), but I will say that Kubuntu 16.10 is beautiful and an absolute pleasure to use. Having said that, I found the installation quite difficult on any laptop that has dual Intel/nVidia graphics.

I’m going to list the steps I used to get Kubuntu 16.10 working on my Defiance II.

My Laptop

I have a PC Specialist Defiance II, which is a re-branded Clevo P65_P67RGRERA.

BIOS Settings

After much trial and error I discovered that, on my laptop, it was important to have the following BIOS settings:

UEFI: Enabled
Secure Boot: Disabled
GPU Settings: DISCRETE

On my laptop I set the GPU settings by navigating to:

Advanced -> Advanced Chipset Control -> MSHYBRID or DISCRETE SWITCH

in the BIOS. This will differ from laptop to laptop, and some laptops may not even offer the option to switch between the two.

Boot from Installation Media

When booting from the installation media you need to press the ‘e’ key when the GRUB menu is displayed. Add ‘nomodeset’ just before “quiet splash”, then press F10 to boot. I have found that without setting ‘nomodeset’, the installation will completely lock up at some point.

So long as nomodeset is set, the installation should complete without any problems. Once the installation is complete, you will be asked to remove the installation media and press . Do this. I have found that sometimes my laptop just won’t reboot at this stage, and I have to hold down the power button to force a power off.

The following steps is where the fun begins…

Install Updates

Again, this may differ from laptop to laptop, but I found that on both Ubuntu 16.10 and Kubuntu 16.10, I could not sign in to the GUI at this point. If I tried to do so, the system would just freeze.

Immediately after the login screen is displayed, press ALT + CTRL + F1 to bring up a virtual console (terminal). Failure to do this quickly enough after the reboot may result in your system freezing.

In the console, install system updates as usual:

If you don’t have a wifi connection at this stage, you may have to use a network cable.

When done, reboot using:

Again, immediately after the login screen is displayed, press ALT + CTRL + F1 to bring up a console.

Install Latest Kernel

To install the latest kernel (4.9.8 at time of writing):

Reboot, and once again immediately press ALT + CTRL + F1 when the login window is displayed.

Installing the Latest nVidia Drivers

To install the latest nVidia drivers (378 at time of writing):

Once again, reboot (with: sudo reboot), and once again press ALT + CTRL + F1 the moment the login window appears.

Set ACPI OSI Kernel Boot Parameter

On my laptop, I found this step very important. Without it, I was getting kernel panics on rebooting. Edit /etc/default/grub and change the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line so it includes acpi_osi=”!Windows 2015”. For example, it should look something like this:

When done, run:

Drivers Nice_sys Laptops & Desktops

then reboot:

From this point, you no longer have to bring up a console. You’ll be able to boot in to Kubuntu using the GUI. There is, however, one more step to complete…

Tearing

You’ll notice that there’s tearing. This is a known issue with KDE for which there is a known workaround – enabling triple buffering!

Create a file in /etc/profile.d/ called “tearing.sh” (the filename doesn’t have to be “tearing.sh”, it can be anything you choose). Tearing.sh should contain a single line:

You will have to log out and log back in again (or just reboot the laptop) for this setting to take effect.

Switching from nVidia to Intel Graphics

From here on in, switching between nVidia and Intel graphics requires going in to the BIOS and selecting with GPU you want to use. When in Intel GPU mode, you can check to make sure the nVidia GPU is not powered on using:

(the result should be “OFF”).

If you want to see how much power your laptop is using, install powerstat:

To run powerstat, you need to be running off battery (i.e. make sure the laptop is no plugged in to the mains). On my laptop, power usage at idle is around 11 Watts:

Conclusion

While the above will enable a hybrid graphics laptop to choose between the nVidia and Intel GPUs, not everything works correctly.

In Intel GPU mode:

  • The screen brightness cannot be adjusted using the keyboard.
  • The video output ports (mini-displayport/HDMI) do not work.
  • Hibernate doesn’t work (there is a workaround: ALT + CTRL + F1, then ALT + CTRL + F7).

In nVidia GPU mode, everything just works.
