Okay so now I have given ur tip a test.
First I wanna mention I know realized that indeed the computer rarely boots when using nouveau.modeset=0 instead of nomodeset. Sometimes it does but it seems VERY random and rare.
Turns out, xserver-xorg-video-intel was already installed and the latest version... The file however, did not exist. So I created it and rebooted. (Using nouveau.modeset=0 still).
I got to the login screen but when it was about to show the desktop it typically went black (this is what always happens if I don't use nomodeset). So I put nomodeset as boot option instead of nouveau.modeset=0 and rebooted.
Now I didn't even get into X... Verbose boot stopped at a screen saying "FAILED to start Light Desktop Manager"... So to even get it booted in anyway again, after trying your fix, I had to set "nomodeset" in /etc/default/grub and also
rm -rf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
So I am back to square one so to speak...

Re: Graphics Drivers 960M & Intel HD
Thanks to openSUSE for providing the build farm and hosting the repo for free! I just edit a few lines in a few files in the Liquorix debian folder, run a command to regenerate the files in /debian from the changed defines, regenerate the source files with "debuild -S -uc -us -d", upload them and it does the rest. If someone wants to do it locally, the recipe isArdouos wrote:Using Steve's Liquorix repo, it is working great. Thanks!Code: Select all

/debian/config/defines: change where it reads "gcc-7" to "gcc". This means it will use the default gcc for your release.
Run

Re: Graphics Drivers 960M & Intel HD [Solved-ish]
Hello guys. A quick update. I got fed up and got rid of debian. These optimus computers really are pain with linux... Anyway, I managed to get Manjaro Linux working using its architect-iso. The way I got bumblebee working on there might have worked on debian too... who knows. But I am perfectly happy with my Manjaro now so I won't switch back. It's working without problems but if anyone wanna know how I made it work it can be read here: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/cant-get-in ... =matheos96
Hope it helps someone with a similar computer

Re: Graphics Drivers 960M & Intel HD
^Glad that you solved your problem. Manjaro is good for people who need quick Arch and AUR features. In my experience, it is a very buggy, duct-tape patched version of Arch that is seriously understaffed for what it tries to do.
