you have to understand 3 things

  • there is drivers nivdia for PCI Cards and drivers Hybrid with Nvidias for Laptop
  • in all case drivers nvidia need a special compilation with the kernels to works
  • in case of hybrid drivers nvidia , they are working with prime-run / optirun , command for that.

so point

  1. install Nvidia → wrong , there are others drivers
sudo mhwd -l -d
  1. then you remove drivers Nvidia from kernel , it is not enough
    Xorg conf file have to be changed

for reinstall ( only under TTY or Terminal)

sudo sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

then after

sudo mhwd -li

before doing something like that , search in the forum
