I have an asus laptop with i7 skylake, ssd and nvidia gtx 950m.
Unfortunately for the last two days I am having troubles to use the official drivers. I have used Ubuntu 14 before on various occasions on my old laptop with no problem (though that was ATI), but I am not a power user or something.
My problem is that even though I have the drivers installed, as in this picture:
Ubuntu still doesn't use them. I don't know why.
When I write nvidia-settigs
I get this:
I Think I have problem with x-org, as if the drivers are not in use. I've tried purging the xorg-* but no use and then:
install xorg xerver-xorg
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg
I've purge the old drivers, installed new, reinstalled everything - no avail. I've set the nouevau thing on a blacklist in grub so I think thats ok.
I have constant screen tearing. I think that for the moment computer uses the intel/ati integrated drivers, but I'm not sure.
When try enter sudo nvidia-xconfig
I get a:
Warning: Unable to locate/open X configuration file. Package xorg-server was not found in ...
P.S if you know a distro that works out of the box with i7skylake/ATI-integrated + nvidiagtx 950m I would be happy to hear. I think Ubuntu Mate is a great distro but I think my noob abilities will not be enough to solve this problem.
