I'd like to install Debian Testing on my machine but before install it I'm testing it on an USB device installation.
Everything works fine but I've read several guides on internet about configure Nvidia Optimus on Linux but none of these works. I want to configure it without Bumblebee.
First guide I followed was https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers/Optimus
Second guide I followed was https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus that's the same but more accurate.
The steps I done were:
1- I haven't blacklisted any nouveau module in
Code: Select all
/etc/modprobe.d/
Code: Select all
/etc/modprobe.d/
Code: Select all
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 53 sep 7 20:00 nvidia-blacklists-nouveau.conf -> /etc/alternatives/glx--nvidia-blacklists-nouveau.conf
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 43 sep 7 20:00 nvidia.conf -> /etc/alternatives/glx--nvidia-modprobe.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 20 ago 27 06:43 qemu-blacklist.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 127 ago 4 19:11 dkms.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 260 mar 29 11:55 nvidia-kernel-common.conf
Code: Select all
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code: Select all

EndSection
Code: Select all
~/.xinitrc
Code: Select all
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto
Code: Select all
nvidia-drm.modeset=1
With all, the system boots fine and the display manager starts up (I've tried with LightDM y GDM3) but I cannot start any session:
- With Cinnamon and MATE screen goes black.
- With GNOME and GNOME on Xorg, it returns back to DM greeter.
I don't try with other DM and DE combinations yet.
Without Nvidia drivers (only Intel integrated GPU) everything works fine.
Some data about my system:
- Debian Testing updated via Synaptic.
