Use bbswitch to manage nvidia

Latest comment: 29 August 20181 comment1 person in discussion

It seems in the latest version of nvidia-xrun, this is automated by the script. When I did the steps listed here I was no longer able to switch back to my Intel session without manually disabling the nvidia and nvidia_drm modules with modprobe -r. If anyone else can confirm that this wasn't just an issue with my setup (2016 razer blade) I think this section should be removed. Johnpetryk (talk) 21:09, 29 August 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Issues with Nvidia after removing Bumblebee

Latest comment: 21 February 20191 comment1 person in discussion

I think it should be blacklist nvidia-uvm instead of blacklist nvidia_uvm. Also, I don't know what this nvidia-uv kernel module is, but I suppose it's just a mistyped nvidia-uvm. Can anyone confirm ? Zyfarok (talk) 13:01, 21 February 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Path of nvidia-xinitrc

Latest comment: 21 August 20201 comment1 person in discussion

I installed nvidia-xrun from AUR. When placing my xinitrc in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/X11/nvidia-xinitrc, it did not work for me. After 2 hours of debugging I found out that /etc/X11/xinit/nvidia-xinitrc actually loads $HOME/.nvidia-xinitrc. With the correct path it works.

I did not make a change, since I don't want to mislead anyone, if I'm wrong. so maybe someone should double check and then edit the path occurrences.

Put blacklists into /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-xrun.conf instead of /usr/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-xrun.conf

Both variants work on my system, but during a new install I missed the /usr/lib/modprobe.d file. It took me a long while to figure out it was missing and once I put it into /etc/modprobe.d everything worked fine again on my new installation.

I generally treat everything below /usr as installation default with ALL customizations going into /etc.
