To test the nvidia driver: blacklist the nouveau and intel graphic
modules, disable kernel mode-setting, and boot to runlevel 3 (all via
the kernel command line args below). Then run nvidia's xorg creation
tool (nvidia-xconfig). Give X a try and see if it works.
nouveau.disable=1 intel.disable=1 nomodeset 3 <--append this to grub
kernel line
The elrepo.org kmod-nvidia package already disables nouveau mode-setting
(nouveau.modeset=0), blacklists the nouveau driver and runs
nvidia-xconfig to create a suitable xorg.conf file.
Perhaps in the case of these hybrid systems we also need to blacklist
the Intel driver too as suggested above. Do we know which Intel driver
is being loaded?
Once you have worked out what works for you through testing, you should
file a bug at http://elrepo.org/bugs/ and we can get these fixes
incorporated into the package.
If that wont work, black list nouveau and nvidia, and try the intel
module (delete the xorg.conf made by nvidia-xconfig)
nouveau.disable=1 nomodeset 3 <-- append this to grub kernel line
Hope that helps.
