#59

double checked that secure boot and legacy are disabled and nvidia-x-server settings still doesn't work

#60

The 5.10 kernel is shown to support the UHD 630...
@Michel ... think higher then 5.11.0-43 is needed for this hardware?

I just read somewhere that in bios there might be a switch for hybrid gpu. @Tom do you have a mode in bios called display and can you switch that to hybrid ?

@Aravisian, nope. Want to try 5.10 ?

Set it to hybrid, but nothing changed

#63

We are making progress, lets focus on the intel card

sudo prime-select intel

Create the file /usr/share/X11/org.conf.d/20-intel.conf

  1. sudo -i
  2. gedit /usr/share/X11/org.conf.d/20-intel.conf
  3. Add
Section "Device"
    Identifier "Intel Integrated Driver"
    Driver "intel"
EndSection
  1. Save
#64

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX or GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT? And remove the quiet splash?

#65

Leave that part

Also reading on the nvidia forums for prime

#66

Ok brightness and internet controls are back and its using the integrated graphics, so I can't use the gpu?

#67

Yes we can, i want to fix that as well for you.

Can you check if the nvidia-x-server now starts

No, nothing happens

#69

Oke, we try something else.

Please try this:

  • add ‘nogpumanager’ kernel parameter
  • delete /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-nvidia-offload.conf
  • create /etc/X11/xorg.conf with contents:
Section "Device"
    Identifier     "intel"
    Driver         "modesetting"
    BusID          "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

The 11-nvidia-offload.conf file doesn't exist

Oke thats good,

Kerel parameter would like this

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nogpumanager"

Not sure if you have more parameters added

sudo update-grub

#72

yes, I still have the splash added

#73

Oke after that splash add the nogpumanager

sudo upgrade-grub

Edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf

#74

The file already exists

Do I leave the org.conf.d file?

#77

Yeah would not harm i guess (you can always rename it), also if this does not work you can revert it back.

Try to reboot

#78

It's back to no brightness settings and internet, graphics are back to llvm
