Hello,
I have a early 2017 Dell XPS 9560, with a fairly new Nvidia card, GTX 1050 Mobile.
I do NOT have
nomodeset
or
acpi=off
in the kernel parameters.
I installed the Nvidia propriety driver provided by the repo using the easy method here: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers#Using_zypper. After a most recent
zypper dup
I installed/updated a bunch of Nvidia drivers and got the following output:
Modprobe blacklist files have been created at /etc/modprobe.d to prevent Nouveau from loading. This can be reverted by deleting /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-*.conf.
.
So I reboot my laptop and wanted to see if it’s working correctly:
# lspci -nnk | grep -A3 VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:591b] (rev 04)
Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:07be]
Kernel driver in use: i915
Kernel modules: i915
Why do I only see Intel driver from the command above? Is it showing the card in use or all cards?
Then I did this:
# lspci -v | egrep "3D|VGA" -A20

From this I can see the correct driver is working for Nvidia. But when I went to Gnome control center -> Details I can only see my Intel graphic card.
So is the Nvidia card working correctly? Do I need bumblebee?
Please advise, thanks.[/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size]
