Hi all,
Thanks for your help, I’ve read through this forum many, and it helped me a lot. But this time, I don’t find the answer and I’m sorry, I need your need.

I have computer with 2 GPU :

lspci -nnk result for the card :

**00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0416] (rev 06)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device [1043:129d]
Kernel driver in use: i915
Kernel modules: i915

01:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 750M] [10de:0fe4] (rev a1)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device [1043:129d]
Kernel driver in use: nvidia
Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia**

It was working, on the the Intel card. But I wanted to play flatout 2 on it, and the Intel card was a little bit slow. So I installed the nvidia driver, and then, the Xorg dosn’t start. So I remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and it start.

But it’s not the Intel driver now, and there no 3D acceleration !

How can I go back to the Intel driver ?
And is it possible to install the nvidia driver ? I’ve tried all the internet ( lol! ) but nothing worked…

Thanks a lot for you help.

It actually is the intel driver.
But having the nvidia driver installed breaks 3D on intel and all other Mesa drivers, because nvidia replaces some system libraries with their own incompatible versions.

How can I go back to the Intel driver ?

You have to uninstall the nvidia driver.

How did you install it in the first place?
If from the nvidia repo, then uninstall all packages with “nvidia” in the name, i.e. search for “nvidia” in YaST and uninstall them.
Should be a list like this:
x11-video-nvidiaG03, nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop, nvidia-uvm-gfxG03, nvidia-computeG03, nvidia-glG03

And is it possible to install the nvidia driver ? I’ve tried all the internet ( lol! ) but nothing worked…

Well, if you can disable the intel graphics in your BIOS settings, you could do that and keep the nvidia driver installed.
Your system will then only use the nvidia graphics.

If not, you will have to remove the nvidia driver like explained above, and install Bumblebee instead:

Personally, I cannot help you with that, but I’m sure others will jump in if you have problems… :wink:

I have installed by zypper as it was not ok, with the driver download on nvidia… I was stupid and I should have done this with more “method” !
Anyway, I’ve removed all the nvidia stuff via zypper, and I’ve found the option --uninstall in the nvidia installer, I’ve copy the old xorg.conf, restarted xorg and it was ok (on the Intel card). I’ll try with bumblebee but it never worked on my pc…

I’ll maybe try with the “nvidia only” solution before, to test if the perf are OK.

Thanks for your quick response !
