Nvidia driver doesn't load, no /dev/nvidia, no input driver specified, ignoring this device

I am unable to get the Nvidia driver to load on an Nvidia/Intel laptop. The Nvidia GPU seems stuck to the nouveau driver but it is blacklisted so if I use the Nvidia GPU it is just a black screen (no cursor).

What can I do to fix this ??
