Hi,
After solving the problem of loading nvidia drivers thanks to the help on this list, especially Andrei, I open a new thread in the hope that maybe, maybe my nvidia card can be used one day.
I have an Asus GL552V laptop, i7 6700, optimus graphics intel/nvidia running opensuse leap 42.3, KDE
It now runs the intel graphics only, in a terrible way with lot of flickering.
I cannot disable the intel graphics or make the nvidia graphics primary in the BIOS (there are no such options there and I double-double-checked...).
I would love to be able to switch between both cards (intel/nvidia) just as it was possible on OpenSuse 13x using suse-prime.
If that's not possible, I'd love to have nvidia activated all the time.
I don't want bumblebee, as for my work-flow it is not really helpful.
I have installed the nvidia drivers from the opensuse nvidia repositiory and they are up and loaded. But running prime-select (installed from the 42.3 repo) something breaks so that I cannot logout from the KDE session nor shutdown with the KDE menu button.
As somebody suggested I changed the display manager from sddm to kdm, but that didn't help.
How can I goon testing and maybe solve the problem? What and where do I have to look?
The first step is to enable KMS in nvidia-drm. This is documented in nVidia README.
I don't know where to find that readme. Googling brought me to an nvidia page and there I read to enter:
modprobe -r nvidia-drm ; modprobe nvidia-drm modeset=1
is it that? one of it, both of it?
This enables KMS for current boot. It will be lost after reboot. To enable it permanently you need to create modprobe configuration file. echo options nvidia-drm modeset=1 > /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-drm.conf mkinitrd reboot
You may need to recreate initrd because I think
openSUSE adds drivers there (mkinitrd). After rebooting with KMS enabled show
lspci -nnk xrandr --listproviders glxinfo | grep vendor
as well as Xorg log.
