My laptop is an Optimus capable and there is no way to disable Intel graphics from the BIOS (I am also willing to use both whenever suits). I followed the handbook and also tried all relevant posts for this issue with NVIDIA, but nothing worked. I was only able to reach to a blank screen with a white unresponsive cursor when I used nvidia-xconfig and that is all. The generated /etc/X11/xorg.conf is as follows,
Any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you.
Update: Intel graphics also did not work until I added the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/i915.conf,
So, Is there some modules also needs to be loaded with NVIDIA?
Code:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
