[Solved] Can't turn off nvidia card

nesquil · 2017-02-09 17:29:28

Hello arch forums,
I have been going through posts and git commit comments, and I believe I found my issue with its fix as well. However, it is an old commit and I imagine the bumblebee-git source from the aur has it already included.
This is a similar issue but with an older driver. I am on NVidia 375.26-6.
https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bu … issues/732
This is the commit to bumblebee/src/module that should(?) fix my driver unloading issue.
https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bu … 454de8a04a

I believe this is because in order to execute

startx

without freezing when loading the config file, I have to execute

sudo modprobe nvidia

. I have to do this after switching to another virtual terminal to avoid xorg autorunning. I don't get any error logs from Xorg when it hangs at the config file.

Please help me figure out how to get my nvidia card off. I have

optirun glxspheres64 --info

working, which is good because it used to just do a segmentation fault.
bbswitch reports my card on and

sudo tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<< OFF

does not help.

edit:
after adding pcie_port_pm=0 to my boot commands, and made only one xorg.conf file which had a section for my "card0" (shows up in org log as /dri/card0, those who have this issue will know) device to use the intel driver. I kept having a no devices found after getting only my intel card on. Now primusrun works wonderfully.
