I did this because I wanted to use the non-free driver. This is also required if you want to use the Intel HD internal graphics card with a Nvidia chip set as a secondary card. The first edit will disable nouveau and verify by "lsmod | grep -i nouveau" Manual edits required to get this working. 1. Created blacklist entry, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklistnouveau.conf as shown below # cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklistnouveau.conf blacklist nouveau options nouveau modeset=0 2. kernel option used, nomodeset Below (lines below) if you want to use the Nvidia non-free driver support: 3. Used Nvidia xconfig tool, nvidiaxconfig 4. Edit the file manually to see what drivers were being used , it should state: Drivers “nvidia” 5. ** Special note, I have two separate video GPU cards and decided to use individual heads, device1, device2 Now after booting, Nvidia drivers are working because the X server came up. I noticed that 'numlock' was off. Verification of X is as follows: 1. Verify what is in proc, lsmod, dmesg messages # cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 352.30 Tue Jul 21 18:53:45 PDT 2015 GCC version: gcc version 4.8.3 20140106 (OpenMandriva Association) (Linaro GCC 4.82014.01) This is the driver we wanted, 352.30, installed from 'mcc'; manual edits required for the blacklist file creation. The installation needs to create something. The Nvidia installer does create a file for you using their manual installation method by executing the driver installation <Nvidia- driver.version>.run. 2. Verify X log in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. 3. Run Nvidia settings and Nvidia System Management Interface tool, nvidiasettings, a X tool, and nvidiasmi, System Management interface tool Nvidiasmi, reports the driver version match such as in proc/driver/nvidia/version and reports the GPU(s). GPU0, is the 960; GPU1, is the 730 card. I want to run the 960 as the primary (a physical connection to a 24in monitor). # nvidiasmi Sat Feb 27 04:26:53 2016 ++ | NVIDIASMI 352.30 Driver Version: 352.30 | |+++ | GPU Name PersistenceM| BusId Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr.

You can also try using "acpi_osi=Linux" on the kernel command line. This allows be to boot with the Nvidia card as a primary video source with the Intel HD graphics card disabled in BIOS. I have found that the BIOS is disabled and initfs still loads the i915 driver module On Tue, Aug 9, 2016 at 12:00 PM, <<a href="mailto:bugzilla-daemon@freedesktop.org">bugzilla-daemon@freedesktop.org</a>> wrote: > *<a href="show_bug.cgi?id=94990#c53">Comment # 53</a> <<a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - Latest 4.6rc4 kernel, no booting on gtx970" href="show_bug.cgi?id=94990#c53">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94990#c53</a>> on > <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - Latest 4.6rc4 kernel, no booting on gtx970" href="show_bug.cgi?id=94990">bug 94990</a> <<a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - Latest 4.6rc4 kernel, no booting on gtx970" href="show_bug.cgi?id=94990">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94990</a>> from Pierre > Moreau <<a href="mailto:pierre.morrow@free.fr">pierre.morrow@free.fr</a>> * > > (In reply to Ilia Guterman from <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=94990#c52">comment #52</a> <<a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - Latest 4.6rc4 kernel, no booting on gtx970" href="show_bug.cgi?id=94990#c52">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94990#c52</a>>)> i tested with 'nouveau.modeset=0' on kernel 4.5 and 4.6 on debian/sid and got > > the same results of screen flickering and seems like nothing inside of the > > nouveau driver getting called. > > Right, `nouveau.modeset=0` wont’t prevent Nouveau from loading, however the > driver is in a "disable" state and won’t do a thing: > > modeset > > Whether the driver should be enabled. 0 for disabled, 1 for enabled, 2 for headless > > (taken from the Nouveau wiki:<a href="https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/KernelModuleParameters/#modeset">https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/KernelModuleParameters/#modeset</a>) > > ------------------------------ > You are receiving this mail because: > > - You are the assignee for the bug. > > > _______________________________________________ > Nouveau mailing list > <a href="mailto:Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org">Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org</a> > <a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau">https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau</a> > ></pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
