    Hello

    Deepin rolled out Prime support via Deepin Graphics manage, I switch from Bumblebee to Prime perfectly fine, but when I install ```nvidia-settings``` and run it I get this error:

    So I proceed to run `sudo nvidia-xconfig` via command line, reboot PC and open x-server again by running `nvidia-settings` in command and I get the same error over and over. So it seems even if I installed Prime via graphics manager, I am still using Intel. Can someone help with this? I want to fully use Nvidia.

    It is not recommended to run whole DDE on NVIDIA graphics card, for you may meet strange display issue......

    If you need to fully use NVIDIA, you need to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf yourself......

    You can follow the guide on Wiki: https://wiki.deepin.org/index.php?title=%E6%98%BE%E5%8D%A1&language=zh#.E5.8F.8C.E6.98.BE.E5.8D.A1

     

    Or try this deb: https://github.com/zty199/dde-dock-switch_graphics_card/releases/download/v1.8.3/dde-dock-graphics-plugin_1.8.3_amd64.deb, but you need to switch back to intel mode in deepin-graphics-driver-manager before you use this.

    Thank you. However, how can I then open applications with Nvidia graphics and not Intel? 
    Also, is it safe and recommended to use the `dde-dock-graphics-plugin_1.8.3_amd64.deb` file?

    If you just need to open applications with Nvidia, you just need a script in dde-dock-graphics-plugin, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zty199/dde-dock-switch_graphics_card/master/scripts/prime-run.sh

     

    Put this script in /usr/bin/ or /usr/local/bin/, and use Nvidia Prime in Deepin Graphics Driver Manager, theroetically you can use "prime-run xxxxxxxx" to open applications with Nvidia.
