I'm using Micro OS Gnome here. I installed the Nvidia G06 driver with
`suse-prime` and `bbswitch`. I had trouble with switching graphic cards.

According to `prime-select.log', it couldn't detect Intel when I tried to
switch to it. Then it would attempt to switch to Nvidia instead and caused
black screen with login, because it also couldn't detect Nvidia. Here is the
part of the log:

```
[ 18:36:16 ] service restored by user
[ 18:38:35 ] user_logout_waiter: started
[ 18:38:35 ] user_logout_waiter: X restart detected, preparing switch to intel
[ 18:38:35 ] Forcing nvidia due to Intel card not found
[ 18:38:35 ] Unloading bbswitch and switching nvidia ON...
[ 18:38:38 ] PCI BusID of NVIDIA card could not be detected!
[ 18:38:38 ] Configuration failed
[ 18:39:42 ] Boot: setting-up  card
[ 18:39:42 ] HotSwitch: completed!
```

Interestingly, when I switched to Nvidia, `suse-prime` complained about not
able to detect Nvidia and wanted to switch to Intel. This time the Intel just
mysteriously worked along with bbswitch.

```

```

I think these are MicroOS exclusive issues, as I never encountered them on
Tumbleweed. It's similar to one of the old issues here reported two years ago.
Switching to Nvidia G05 driver doesn���������t help either.

The issue was also reported on the SUSE-Prime's page: 

By default, MicroOS comes with less installed packages than Tumbleweed, nor
does it have ���������recommended packages��������� like Tumbleweed. For example, my Tumbleweed
ships with packages like intel-media-driver intel-vaapi-driver
xorg-x11-driver-video libvulkan_intel Mesa-vulkan-device-select, which MicroOS
doesn���������t. Here I���������m wondering if missing driver-related packages are missing
might be the cause of the issues mentioned above. Or maybe there is something
wrong with detecting graphic card on MicroOS' end.
