No matter what I do, including following all the different ways to install the nvidia using nvidia-inst or nvidia-installer-dkms, all of them say they installed the nvidia driver successfully, still the driver refuses to be used. inxi -G shows the nvidia card is not using the driver. Any ideas on how to fix this? I ultimately want to use optimus-manager-qt to switch between the iGPU and dGPU
