Greetings,
I have an MSi laptop with NVIDIA 1060 GPU card running (GNU/Linux) CentOS 7.7. The laptop already comes with a graphics controller but i need to crunch some numbers using CUDA and that’s the reason for NVIDIA card.
$ lspci
...
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 630 (Mobile)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP106M [GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile] (rev a1)
...
I have already blacklisted Nouveau driver and am not sure if i should do the same for Intel module. NVIDIA driver is 410.104. There’s a lot of conflicting info on the web whether it’s possible (or easy) to get X Window server running with such a configuration.
In xorg.conf adding BusID “PCI:1:0:0” seemed to have helped a bit but it still looks like NVIDIA card has no connections to the display; from /var/log/Xorg.1.log:

Is there anything else I should be trying?
