  • Turn off nvidia graphic card?
    2 projects | /r/linuxquestions | 14 Feb 2023
    Ok so i found a way, a pretty easy one indeed, to do it. You have to install nvidia drivers. You could say that it easy, and you would be wrong. It needs an old nvidia version that is not supported. The graphic card is an nvidia gt 330M which means you need nvidia driver 340.x version. But that version, if you try to install from nvidia page, doesn't work with linux kernel higher than 4.4. So i found this https://github.com/MeowIce/nvidia-legacy . This repository has a version of that nvidia driver with support for 5.10+ kernel. So you just have to install the .run and then use nvidia-smi -i 0000:xx:00.0 -pm 0 where xx is your nvidia card pci ID (you can find it with lspci | grep NVIDIA. After that you will have your graphic card turned off.

    Boot with nouveau and then download the 340.108 branch from here (you’ll need some dev tools and kernel-headers/source installed), build yourself the driver and reboot.

    I really wish nouveau were in a better state. I have a positively ancient laptop with a 8600M nvidia chipset that just will not reliably operate with the nouveau driver.

    Instead, I have to use https://github.com/MeowIce/nvidia-legacy to patch and install the proprietary drivers.
