Welcome to Debian graphics card: This article talk about graphics card installations. Installation can use two stages which are driver installation and device configuration. Sometimes, videocards are detected automatically (native support) but 3D acceleration support often need proprietary driver. These hardware drivers are generally part of the Linux kernel, although bits of graphics drivers are part of Xorg (the graphics system), and printer drivers are included with CUPS (the print system). That means most of the available hardware drivers are already on your computer, included along with the kernel, graphics server, and print server.

In Debian, if you run into issues with wi-fi or graphics support, there are usually two things to check. The first is the kernel, especially for graphics. You can usually get a newer kernel by looking at backports; currently, the Debian 9 kernel is 4.9.168, but 4.19.37 is available as a backport with better support for newer graphics adapters. When I run sudo lshw -c video, the line for 'configuration' says 'latency=0' and there is no entry for driver anywhere. I've reinstalled the Intel drivers successfully several times, with reboots in between, and no matter what, lshw does not show any driver info. – ely Oct 12 '16 at 17:44.

In this article, I am going to show you how to install and uninstall Nvidia Optimus Graphics drivers for devices that can run in hybrid graphics mode. In Linux, there are two types of Nvidia graphics drivers available. One is called nouveau which is open source and the other one is the closed source drivers from Nvidia. For most people, the open source nouveau drivers are enough. But if you strictly need the closed source Nvidia drivers for high performance graphics experience, then this article is for you. Let’s get started. I am using GNOME3 desktop on Debian 9 Stretch.

First go to Activities and click on “Software and Updates”

Make sure all of these checkboxes are marked. If they are marked then you’re good to go.

Now run the following command to check whether your device supports Hybrid graphics:

You can see that I have Nvidia GeForce 940M and Intel HD Graphics 520 on my laptop.

Now to install Nvidia Optimus graphics drivers, run the following commands:

Press ‘y’ and press <Enter> to continue. It should take a while for it to download and install all of these packages from the internet.

You should get the following message, simply press <Enter>. It’s nothing serious. The nouveau graphics driver will be blacklisted after installing the proprietary Nvidia drivers anyway. So it won’t be loaded from the next boot.

Once it’s complete, restart your computer. Once your computer boots, you have to perform some additional steps.

Open a terminal and run the following command:

The following window opens up:

Here you have to change only the marked section. Change it as it’s shown in the screenshot below.

Now press Ctrl+X and press to save the file.

Now click on “Activities” in the top left corner and search for “Nvidia”:

Click on Nvidia icon and you should be able to see Nvidia settings as shown below.

So everything is working correctly.

Press ‘y’ and then press , Nvidia Optimus graphics drivers should be uninstalled.
