:man_shrugging:

Anyway, the driver is from mai 2018, now (with kernel 5.4) i can load the driver (modeprobe) at list in the system but nvidia-settings still don’t recognize it outher i start it with: optirun -b none nvidia-settings -c :8

Finally I have to return this notebook to owner, sadly, without a solution always running iGPU Intel.

Nvidia is bad, no more I will spend money on it :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:
