Hello!
I have a laptop with a Nvidia GeForce GT 750M and another integrated Intel video card. I want to use only the Nvidia one. I'm trying to follow the wiki but I'm not sure about the driver I have to install for this model. Can you please help me?

Do you have an option in BIOS/UEFI to turn off the Integrated Graphics?
Also, for the 750M, you should be fine with the default nvidia driver for the nvidia card.
Claire is fine.
Problems? I have dysgraphia, so clear and concise please.

What seems to be the problem?

No, I do not have the switcher in the BIOS. The default driver is this one?

I'm not able to find the code name of my model, on the Nvidia site.

Go to the driver download page http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverRe … 6884/en-us or find '750m' on http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeNames/ -it says it's NVE7 (GK107) and the wiki says
For GeForce 8000 series (released 2006) and newer [NV50, NV84 and newer] cards, install the nvidia or nvidia-lts packages, available in the official repositories.
Yes, 'nvidia' package is the right one for you, it's the default nvidia driver.

I have this problem when I try to install the nvidia package.
[egidio@arch ~]$ sudo pacman -S nvidia

If you don't want to use the intel card at all, remove the intel drivers first, then install nvidia.

I'm stucked in this situation. What can I do?

Try switching to another terminal with Alt-F2 or Alt-F7.
What exactly did you do? Did you successfully install nvidia?
Are you booting to tty or straight to X?

I see an error on gdm status log: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_nmx4A … cslist_api

What happens if you run 'startx' from the other console? Any errors?

Command not found...
Have you installed the X server?
Unlike some other Linux distributions which will make sure you have the X server installed with the graphics drivers if you want to run an environment like GNOME3, in ArchLinux you can have the X server installed with out graphics drivers (and vice versa), resulting in no graphics (unless you're using Wayland).

I removed the Nvidia driver and installed the Intel one back. On the Nvidia drivers startx say it does not found any screen. Why I do not see the Nvidia card under the VGA voice in the lspci?
[root@arch egidio]# lspci | grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
[root@arch egidio]# lspci | grep -i nvidia

So, what can I do to use the Nvidia card? I have to setup xorg manually instead of using GDM?

You have to install xorg-server and some other packages first.

Since you don't have an on/off option for the Integrated Graphics card and you said you only want to use the nvidia card, this page looks relevant: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … ing_nvidia

I have no idea then. I'm going to pass this on, in the hope that someone with experience with an nVidia card will help.
