Quadro M3000M not detecting laptop screen (470.94 driver)

[user153890]

I have a Dell 7710 w/ a Quadro M3000M. I run a external monitor over HDMI. I recently tried to move to NVIDIA drivers. After an install via sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470, the monitor worked fine, but the laptop screen did not.
I then purged this package install, and tried to install 470.94 via the .run installer, same behavior.

kernel is 5.4.0-96-generic

Best I can tell, the driver isn’t detecting the laptop screen at all.

Please try switching to “switchable graphics” in bios.

Thanks! I think I’m making headway.

I checked the switchable graphics box in the bios. I think the nvidia driver is running both screens (lsmod | grep nvidia & nvidia-smi seem good, and the console text is small), but x won’t start. Nothing in X.org.log looks bad to me.

Also, is there also onboard graphics on this machine too?

$ sudo lshw -c video | grep 'configuration'
       configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0
       configuration: driver=i915 latency=0

It has an onboard intel but you now disabled it with your xorg.conf, please delete it.

That worked - thank you!
