    When I open the NVIDIA X Server settings the following message appears:

    "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run` nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. "

    So I do what he asks and so the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is generated. And so I restart the laptop. When it starts again, the screen turns black and only the "_" (underline) appears.

    To get back I go through Ctrl + Alt + F2 and delete the file and restart the Lightdm server and it works again, but still with Xorg and not the NVIDIA driver.

    Any help, please?

    Sorry to answer only now. I installed it by the driver manager, but did not install the bumblebee. I installed it manually. But I wanted my video card to work as the main video driver. Can you help?

    nvidia-prime is not a packaged solution in deepin so you have to do some manual configuration
    1, uninstall bumblebee package: sudo apt-get remove bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia
    2, add a X config file following https://bbs.deepin.org/module
    3, configure lightdm following https://bbs.deepin.org/module

    Restart then you will get your NVIDIA card run by default if anything goes ok.

    Hello,

    I seem to be having the same issue here. I changed my driver to bumble bee from the driver manager but it doesn't work.

    What should I do? The manual configuration linked above is too technical for me.

    Please offer a stable solution, I do not wish to break my system.

    Thank you

    It crashes my steam games like RoboCraft and Star Conflict before I even reach the menu.. I remember them working just fine on Linux Mint 17.3.
    Even LightWorks crashes, I really need that application.

    And I'm afraid the more time I spend with this distro, the more limited in functionality it seems..

    Alors j'ai trouvé comment installer comme il se doit bumbeblee. Ne pas passer par le gestionnaire de pilotes et suivre ces deux tutos :
