I've got an Asus G751JW which has an Nvidia GTX 970M and some integrated intel graphics card as far as I know. What I'd like to do is disable the Nvidia card and just use the integrated graphics.
Mostly because I don't game on the system anyway, but also because the proprietary nvidia drivers do not work properly. I get graphics errors constantly which mess up the login screen so I cannot log in anymore at times. Also I can't change the display's brightness no matter which driver I use for the Nvidia card (and I have tried lots of things to fix this to no avail) ...
Anyway, so I heard you can switch to intel using prime-select
. Nope. I can't since the intel card is not recognized.
I also heard you can disable the Nvidia card using bbswitch
. Nope, cause the intel card is not recognized.
Any idea why the integrated card is not recognized?
