 Posted: Wed Apr 24, 2024 8:40 pm Post subject: [Solved] Unable to use Nvidia proprietary |
 |
|
Hi everyone!
I'm facing a strange problem with my gentoo installation. I installed gentoo on my MSI GF63 laptop, but the Nvidia video card doesn't work. I want to use proprietary nvidia drivers, so I completely disable nouveau compatibility in the kernel. However, regardless my efforts, Nvidia drivers don't work.
My specifications
Kernel 6.6.21-gentoo-x86_64
Video card Ge Force GTK 1050 Ti
Nvidia drivers 550.67
I would notice that I already had working Nvidia card on this device, but it was 3 years ago, and I forgot how I launched it.
Could anyone help?

What exactly isn't working? Do you have any logs to post?

Aranycsapat,
Laptop ... nVidia ...
That usually means an Optimus Graphics system.
You can use the Intel GPU alone or the Intel GPU to refresh the display while the nVidia GPU does the drawing, which is the hard work.
Check your laptop description for "Optimus Graphics". If that is mentioned, see the Optimus page an the Gentoo Wiki.

Aranycsapat,
The 'Black Screen' is the expected behaviour on an Optimus system if your try to use nte nVidia GPU on its own
It has no connection to the display.

| I just rebuilt the system completely, included Intel video card support and voila! The system works perfectly. |
