Hi,
so I went through the BIOS and found it under "switchable graphics".
It was turned on, checked.
What is it Optimus does, and, ... does it even matter/work in
RHEL/Centos? (the other otption has to do with the docking station
display ports. It can use it when in a docking station, which mine
usually is.
When I turned off Optimus, since it was on, to see if there is a
difference, I had turn the Docking DP otion on else nothing would work.
Also, I looked at some Centos 7 machines I still have, there is
something there kmod-nvidia, however that is not in RHEL/Centos 8
anymore? (has that to do with the issues of compiling the kernel
menioned way earlier in this thread?)
I am trying to see if switching the state of Optimus, whatever it is,
makes a difference in gnome crashing ... or not
thanks,
Ron

I was able to build/compile the drivers with
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-460.73.01.run on 4.18.0-240.22.1.el8_3.x86_64, it
gave me a warning about pkcfg, but no other warnings/errors and seem
to install, however, after booting it still didn't use that driver,
but the nouveau one ...
Dang it - formatting destroyed again... Thunderbird - The bane of email on Linux...
One more attempt:
Not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison as I'm on Ubuntu, but just to show that Nvidia still supports this card (I'm on the same laptop -
m6700 - though lower powered GPU).
I have enabled Optimus in the BIOS and also installed bumblee for Optimus [1] support.
