I have a system with two GPUs:
Card-1: Intel Device 5916 bus-ID: 00:02.0
Card-2: NVIDIA GM108M [GeForce 940MX] bus-ID: 01:00.0
Display Server: X.Org 1.19.3 driver: intel Resolution: 1920x1080@60.00hz
GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel HD Graphics 620 (Kabylake GT2)
GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 17.0.2 Direct Rendering: Yes
I've followed the instructions in the arch wiki for setting up dual gpu support using bumblebee and the nvidia closed source drivers ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … stallation )
When I try to enable the nvidia GPU with
optirun glx gears
I get:
[ 1002.967450] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not load GPU driver
[ 1002.967498] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
dmesg gives me:
[ 1002.945197] NVRM: The NVIDIA GPU 0000:01:00.0 (PCI ID: 10de:134d)
NVRM: installed in this system is not supported by the 375.39
NVRM: NVIDIA Linux driver release. Please see 'Appendix
NVRM: A - Supported NVIDIA GPU Products' in this release's
NVRM: README, available on the Linux driver download page
NVRM: at www.nvidia.com.
[ 1002.945217] nvidia: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -1
[ 1002.945236] nvidia-nvlink: Nvlink Core is being initialized, major device number 243

[ 1002.945244] NVRM: None of the NVIDIA graphics adapters were initialized!
[ 1002.945245] nvidia-nvlink: Unregistered the Nvlink Core, major device number 243
But the nvidia site states that my GPU is supported with that version of the module. (http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverRe … 4708/en-us).
I'm running manjaro with kernel 4.9.20-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT and my system is fully up to date.
Please advise. How do I enable and use the nvidia GPU?

Looks like nvidia changed something recently in their driver. I installed nvidia-beta instead of nvidia and now the second GPU is working.

I am glad you got it solved, but I must point out Manjaro is a different distribution with their own forums. From now on, please ask Manjaro support questions on their forums. Thanks.
