Check Fedora Project Wiki Bumblebee page to see if you can make it work.If your system uses nVidia Optimus technology (which I believe it is the case) its a bit more tricky to get it to work on Linux, bumblebee (which you already tried) is usually the way to go. In the past I've allways done it by hand, but this may solve your strange problem. It uses an nVidia driver installer rather than installing them by hand. I can't see your report, so i'll come up with a generic answer:įor normal cards and BIOS, this guide should solve your problem, thought I think you'll have already considered all this, but maybe you missed a dependency or some line in the config files.

Note that the Section "OutputClass" is part of the driver installation, without the rest normally the screen goes totally black (as if it is off).

When I change this line Driver "intel" to Driver "nvidia" then do startx I kind of hangs, it doesn't accept any input, ctrl+c doesn't kill get me back to tty shell, but "ctrl+alt+f2,f3" could move me to another tty when I move back to tty1 it doesn't display text there but rather screen freezes on whatever was already in the previous tty. This is the current Xorg Configurations Section "OutputClass" I already blacklisted nouveau driver (it doesn't show up in lspci) and tried to blacklist i915 driver so I would see if nvidia driver will work or not, but it didn't I tried bumblebee, rpmfusion nvidia drivers, the official one provided by nvidia, and finally negativo repos for rpm nvidia drivers(current one), they all gave similar results.

The problem is that I want to get Nvidia Card driver to work, At least be able to choose at booting time which one to use, and at best enable nvidia-prime to have dynamic switching between both graphic cards

I am aware of similar questions to this one but none of them do solve my problem, My current operating system is fedora 26 minimal net-install with i3 windows manager, so it would be safe to assume that it is customly built Linux ➜ ~ lspci| grep VGAĠ0:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)Ġa:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208M (rev a1)
